Well here we find ourselves in another year...propelling forward through time at an alarmingly fast rate of speed. Where will we find ourselves in this year...what will we see...what will happen...who will we meet...who will we lose...who will we miss...
When I think about 2010, I think about my niece who was born, I think about the things I did and the things I didnt do. As the last minutes of 2010 rolled by I thought about how fast things progress after the summer is over, one minute we are vacationing in the summer months and before we know it here is fall and then winter and then its time to begin a new year.
I wonder if this is just a sign I am getting older and now I am more aware of time and how little we seem to have once we've reached a certain age. Sometimes I feel as though we are being pushed down this long hallway and the more we resist the faster and harder we are pushed. Maybe I'm a cynic or maybe I'm just crazy.
Every new year brings out the "fresh start" crews and everyone makes resolutions to get more organized or lose weight or be a better person but when the year ends very few if any of these resolutions have been fulfilled, we are procrastonators who get caught up in the chaos and excitment and we say and swear to things that deep in our very souls we know we will never finish or even start. But aint it fun when its happening...
I love the holidays...I love watching old Dick Clark and his New Year's Rockin' Eve...its a tradition and it's fun...well Dick's getting old and it's just another reminder that time is flashing by...if we stop and look we will find there are reminders of the passing of time everywhere we look...some are good, like a growing child that with each moment of time something new is learned and a new stage begins...some are bad, like the graying of your hair that serves as a constant reminder that you are getting older and the stages that are left for you aren't the kind that are looked forward to...
Good or Bad, time passes on and each year brings with it something tragic, something wonderful, something frightening, something comforting, something hateful, something loving, something new...
Happy New Year
