I had a conversation with someone the other day about the pace of life. He asked, “Is it true that life gets faster when you get older?”
To which I responded, “It seems quicker, but I guess it’s as fast as you make it.”
I guess, at least lately, my life has felt fast. I try to escape it, downsize it, and even avoid it. However, I all too often turn on the blinker and merge into the left lane lane of life too quickly. Much of these feelings can be attributed to the season of life that I happen to be in right now. And yet, my heart craves for greater simplicity all the more. Even the lazy wanderer outside the coffee shop has stirred a bit of jealousy in me recently. Is that bad?
Commitments are nice, but binding. And so, when my prior pledges disappear in late June, my schedule will go on vacation. If figure while it rests, so can I.
There are two bright spots of hope on the calendar approaching soon… Memorial Day & My Bday (yeah!).
ONCE UPON A TIME…
