Things move too fast..

I can remember when I was young.. maybe 10, time moved so slow.  I’m not sure at what point I finally realized that it now moves too fast.  I have memories of thinking just that throughout my life.  When the kids were small and again when the kids were growing older.  Now at 55,  I’m almost overwhelmed with it.  I know it’s a part of life and there are so many times we can’t wait for this to pass or that to happen but right now I do wish there was a reset button. 

So many people say they wouldn’t want to go back and relive certain parts of their life but I would.  I want to go back and relive it all just to learn more about it and from it.  You know when you go to a movie you liked you go home happy and always say in your mind how great it was?  Then then two years later you only remember the plot?  Suddenly it comes on TV and you watch it again and see things you didn’t realize happened the first time you saw it.  Reliving life sounds like such a joy, like watching that movie you loved so much again.  

I am the kind of person that realizes that you go through good times and bad to get where you are.  You shouldn’t regret the bad times if they got you to the place you are.  I am very lucky that I am elated with where I am.  Of course everyone wishes that something could be different.  I wish I weren’t sick.  I wish I could get up and go do things whenever I want but as my life is right now I’m happy to be blessed with what and who I share my life with.  Now I want it to slow it down so I can watch it closer, deeper and with the awe that life gives us.  Things in life just move too fast.
