Perhaps it is because summer is drawing to a close,
and back to school will bring a different rhythm to our lives.
Perhaps it is because of recent discussions with my son ...
It may be because Heather has been posting of
the passing of time, and childhood landmarks,
and liz is sending her youngest off to High School...
or perhaps it's because I have a birthday next month,
and it automatically starts me reflecting and assessing,
and in recent years, honest to God wondering, where the time has gone.
Today I discussing a photo with a co worker.
I said ,I think that picture was taken in 1996,
and realized that was 10 years ago.
A decade. Poof. Gone.
I'm really not sure where I am wandering with this post,
other than I'm considering that while I can't slow down time,
I can make the most of it.

It's hard to remember to sit and be mindful instead of rushing on to the next important thing. I had a great conversation with some friends tonight about how important it is to allow ourselves time to reflect instead of filling our lives with activities. Life will still rush past, but at least we'll notice it.
dont know about time but its what you do with it in between thats important i think

I have a birthday next month too, the 13th. Every year it comes earlier, doesn't it?
It stuns me, how quickly the time goes now. When I was a child the lazy days of summer spun out slowly - they seemed to last forever. Each day was a universe alone. And now? Months go by in minutes, now that I finally truly appreciate them.
I have had that too, where I am talking about something I did and realize it was over a decade ago!
((((Hope))))
I too look back and wonder where and how time has gone by so quickly. Even as I read your post it was shocking to realize that 1996 was in fact a decade ago.
I have recently been giving the oportunity to face that each moment that passes cannot be recaptured, no matter how we may try, wish, or dream it to.
May you truly follow through and make the most of each moment, no matter where that moment is.

Must be that kinda day for reflection. One most really enjoy the time given to them. It goes by fast, and one never really knows how many more days they might have to enjoy lifes joyous moments.
I also have a birthday next month. It is remarkable how watching my children grow hides the time from me. Hope, you do a good job of living the moment that is here though. I bet in times of reflection like this, that helps.
Yes...I want to make the most of my time too. Although sometimes I think i have wasted alot of time. Although I wonder how I could have done more.
With nathan off in school I feel I haven't spent enough time with him.
And now he's gone. OFF doing things without mommy.
Not sure I like this school buiness yet.
Nice post Hopey Woman!
Time...could you please slow it down for me?
