from 8 to 80

So you know when you are writing in your journal and you have a little extra time to thumb back to entries long past, and delve into an old you from years ago?? Well, just recently I did this, and the particular entry I liked wasn't necessarily years ago, but just a few months. It was back at the beginning of fall, right before the new semester was just about to begin. I had written about how crazy fast the summer had flown by, and about how weird it was to think that the fall semester was already upon us.

It kinda made me laugh, looking upon that, knowing that now that semester that I had long been looking forward to, slash dreading is basically over. Man! Time flies so crazy fast! And the more years that seem to pass me by, the faster they seem to fly. It's kinda fascinating actually. This past semester has flown, and a new year and new semester soon approaches. It still completely fathoms me how fast the chapters of our lives open and close. I'm actual quite nervous that time moves so fast that in the next 10 years I will basically be 80....or else that may be what it would seem like, haha.

So my goal and challenge to myself....make each day and each moment count because before you know it, those days and opportunities may be gone....Spend more time strengthening those relationships that can last you a lifetime and into the eternities.
