| I Am Not Perfect |
Time flies when you're having fun!
Blink and it will be gone.
There are so many sayings that indicate how quickly a life will pass before your eyes. Sometimes the truth in all the statements sneaks up on you when you least expect it.
I remember as a young child how LONG it took for Christmas or a special birthday to come. I always wanted time to go faster and I was always waiting for the next big thing . . . middle school, high school, a car, a trip, college, my first job, marriage, a kid . . .
Woe, woe, woe. Slow down there tiger. Once that list is done- life seems to go by in truly a blink of an eye. Whoosh. It's gone.
All of a sudden your metabolism slows way down, your hair starts to turn gray, you find comfort in being home on a Friday night and little people you once knew as kids are now grown adults.
Now I know that I'm not THAT old, but I'm at that point where I've realized that a year is nothing. Planning for the future has taken on a whole new meaning. It feels like there will never be time to get life done.
The statement, "When ____________ happens, then I will be able to _____________," has become a joke. Something else will always come up. There will always be more to do!
It's okay. It's time to embrace the growth that has happened and appreciate where we are today. Let's stop fretting about the future; always looking for the next best thing to happen.
Today is the day to look back with appreciation. The past is behind us- some of it is pretty ugly. BUT, it's what got us to where we are today. And, surely, we have made amazing amounts of growth in the last 10, 20 or 50 years.
Where ever you fall on the age spectrum, it's time to be proud of who you are today. Without the failures from the past, we wouldn't be able to make the accomplishments we do today.
Take time to think about where you've come from and where you are currently. Notice growth. Know that if things aren't wonderful today, change is right around the corner with endless possibilities.
Enjoy the journey you have been blessed with, love the people in your life, smile :) and remember, 'It's Okay'.
