The older I get the faster time seems to pass; every moment
a decision, sometime consciously often introspectively, of what I am going NOT to
do today. I try to balance my time, but often am left wondering what I should
have done differently.
I just finished reading Alicia’s pregnancy blog this morning and realized
again how quickly 2013 is passing me by. I have so many posts here I was going
to write, books I wanted to read and review, movies I wanted to see and lots of
“little” things I was going to start up this year. While I am not always using
my time to the fullest I don’t feel I “waste” all that much of my time either;
yet somehow the year is about 2/3 gone.
I’m trying not to let the list of things I am falling
further behind on overwhelm me this morning, and decided to set aside a few minutes
before jumping into another week to make one post on my blog this year. So I sit curled on the couch, listening to the news, with my faithful Boris asleep at my side, typing and taking a deep breath. This is
me trying to capture one short moment and wondering where all the time is
going!
I do believe time seem to go faster each year. I have had to change my list of what I want to get done or I get frustrated at what I am not doing. There are always more thing that "could, should" get done than there is time. Try not to spend all your time crazy over what is not getting done. Take pride in what is getting done. Maybe see if there are not some things on your to-do list that can be dropped off for now or always. But I know you are a wonderful daughter, a caring person, a good sister, and in general a special person, which is pretty good in my books!
ReplyDeleteIt is so true! Time is just flying by and there is so much I wish I was doing that I'm not. I guess we all do the best we can to do the best things and go from there. Miss you!
ReplyDeleteIt might not be you. It may just be 2013. The whole, "Wait, what do you mean so much time is already past? I've barely gotten started!" feeling has very much been my experience this year, too.
ReplyDeleteBut you know what? Life is good! Because (at least for me) it doesn't always have to be captured or conquered or even completed. It's okay for life to be one snuggle at a time, one dream at a time, and basically one day at a time.
Please keep being you! You, Holly, are wonderful. *Hugs!*
