So, it's August already and I have no idea where the time went...It seems I missed blogging the entire month of July! I've been real busy with my kids, and have been committing as much time as I can to helping out and hanging out with my sick sis.
You know, I have a theory about why time seems to go by so much faster now that I'm an adult. Sure we're busier with lots more responsibilty, but that doesn't jive with the whole "Time Flies When You're Having Fun" theory.
When I was a kid, life was a lot of fun! Time certainly didn't fly by. There really wasn't that much to worry about--just things like going to school, doing homework, learning to tie your shoes, and using the right silverware in front of our scary Grandmom...
Other than that, life consisted of riding bikes, building forts and playing games like "Ghost in the Graveyard" (so fun!) There were so many of us, that on some days during summer vaction, our mom would only let us in the house to use the bathroom--lunchtime picnics everyday--we loved it!
So here's my theory on how the time flies:
See, I think life is like a roadtrip--The ride there always takes forever, but the ride home seems to go by pretty quickly... (I remember our family taking roadtrips to the mountains in Pennsylvania--once, we even went as far as Canada. Our parents stuffed all seven kids in a station wagon, and away we went...now that's a long roadtrip!)
Anyway, my point is that I think our life's timeline is like that. When I was a kid, it seemed like the days were really long, and it took FOREVER for Christmas to come back around--So that was the first half of the "life" ride--very long.
At some point in my adulthood, time started moving very quickly--like the "life" ride back...
So, if you're feeling like time is soaring past you, it's probably because you're on your way back, so to speak--in other words, when you finally reach your destination, you truly will be at the end of the road...
So take the time to enjoy your life, and make it a sweet journey!
