“This has definitely been a week themed by reflection and memories. Every day, I have talked to someone that has been reflecting on time and how very quickly it is passing. A father worrying about a daughter about to graduate and go to college outside his reach. A Mother, who has lost all but one child, raising her grand children, and wondering how time can be so cruel. An elderly man that started walking after retirement to stay in shape, but years later, now, he quit, and may not start again. He said it was because every place he looks on his path .. he sees his young past. He tries so hard to reach and touch it but it evades him before he can grasp it. He says it makes him too sad . A lovely older lady, that said she used to be so active., but this week with 5 engagements was too overwhelming and she no showed some. She said, as she looks back, time just decided to fast forward. A retiring pilot on the horizon, that just can’t grasp, that much time has passed, and how can it be time Already! Quoted, • I’ve worked since I was 12 years old” now I don’t know what to do..
I truly feel this every time I see posts from class mates from high school. Every time I see kids that were in my gym and now have kids that are grown. Patients I saw as children, that now I see their babies.. Every time hop of my Own girls that are both, full independent adults now.. As far as time passing so quickly. But still.. I can’t imagine how that much fullness filled the space of time as it did for me. But it did!!
Time is Tricky.. it seems so slow at times, then you look up and so much has passed that you, Can Not understand how you are where you stand, so quickly. Just know, it will pass with or without your permission.. So make the most of every day you have!!”
