The Speed of Life

Lately I have been struck hard with the sense of how fast life is moving. I have to admit, this has me panicked. Everything is flying by so much faster than I ever thought possible. I blink my eyes and a year has passed; looking back, the events of the past year are like a blur of memories.

I want so much to slow it down, to linger in the wonderful, beautiful, happy moments of my life. I feel like I'm trying desperately to hang on, but it's slipping through my fingers, and the more I try to grab it, the more it all slithers away.

I am the kind of person who is never able to appreciate what I have until it is gone. That makes me feel so sad...so many wonderful moments that I didn't enjoy when I was right in the middle of them, and now they are only memories. I know that this means I have to work harder from now on, to enjoy what I have, while it is happening. I only hope that I am able to do that.
