Doesn’t time feel like its flying? Already we are 34 days into the year 2011 and it feels like it hasn’t even started yet. For me, I am glad January is over and I am making February my “new year”.
January of course is always long and hard and I “couldn’t wait” for it to be over. With uncontrollable weather, the passing of my grandfather and my uncontrollable life I prayed everyday that January would just end. But now it’s already over and done with and it felt like a long month but it also felt like it has flown by. We always just “can’t wait” for something.
Like always, we have something to look forward to, whether it is the end of the day, the weekend, a long weekend, or a trip in a few months, it’s always something we “can’t wait for”. But then the time comes when it’s the end of the day, the weekend, the long weekend or that trip we have been waiting for. It comes and goes so quickly so why are we always waiting for that time when it comes so fast and ends so fast? It’s always nice to look forward to something because it excites us, but we shouldn’t want it to come sooner, because that means life is passing by sooner.
It makes me sad that time fly’s by and sometimes I need to stop and take life a little slower than usual. Being busy is great but it means time goes by much quicker. It scares me to know that I am 24 this year and yesterday felt like I just graduated. The saying “time flies” is actually pretty accurate. But we all say time flies, maybe this is just how fast our lives are supposed to go?
Today is my niece’s first birthday. At this time last year we were so excited congratulating my oldest sister on her new baby who only cried, slept and pooped. Today we are saying happy birthday to a beautiful walking, crawling, smiling, talking, laughing, and red headed bundle of joy! And how did this past year fly. We got to see her go from a small fragile baby to a small toddler. SO happy birthday to my beautiful baby niece, I would love to say, that we “can’t wait” to see her grow into a young girl and the onto a young lady and into a woman but I am going to just say, I look forward to seeing her day by day changing into that woman she will become.
This year will be exciting like usual. Keagan will be 7 (holy crap), we have a few trips planned (Disneyland and Vegas), Adam turns the big 3-0, and we will be looking to bigger and better things. There will be some wonderful times and some tough times but we all get through these times. So I would like to say “I can’t wait” for this year to bring me laughter and cheer, but I won’t because I can wait, day by day, life will bring us what is meant to be and I look forward to what will fall in place for me.
