on getting older

With a recently passed birthday, I’ve been thinking a lot lately about this past year. While speaking to my therapist this week, I came out with a profound thought that I’m sure has crossed your mind at one time or another. This year went by so quickly. While each day passed, maybe it didn’t seem so fast, but looking back…where did the time go? And as I was thinking I realized that when I’m having a rough day or watching a bad movie, sitting in a long program, watching the sunny day while I’m at my desk, I wish that time would pass faster. But those are hours or days of my life that I’m wishing would pass faster. Well it sounded more profound on the couch…
You can’t help but think about your own mortality. It’s all a part of the human condition. So not only am I reviewing my past, but looking forward and considering how to live my future. That’s what I’ve got for you today.
