At the speed of life
It seems that time goes faster each year than it did the year before. One minute it is spring and everything is turning green, the next minute, leaves are starting to turn and the brisk morning air hints of a long cold winter.
Memories become a blur, minor events fall to the background so that only the most salient remain.
When looking back over this past year and the events therein, it has been a substantially busy year. Life is always rife with stumbling blocks, tough decisions and way more drama than should be legal, but it is also filled with smiles, laughter and memories that will sustain you through the tough times.
With every bruise there are lessons that can and should be learned. Much like with a child learning the difference between hot and cold, you can tell them the words, but until they associate a feeling with the words they mean nothing. With every new territory there is a learning curve. You not only guaranteed to fail but to crash and burn. The real test with any situation is your ability to pick up the ashes and rebuild with a new understanding, thus making your foundation that much stronger.
Currently I am in the midst of a multitude of life lessons, hanging on for dear life hoping that when I land my feet are secure.
It is a fair statement that this year will drastically define then next five years of my future. Hopefully I will have wisdom enough to choose wisely the path I will walk, and then live with it.
In all this it is important to remember a very essential part to life. Sleep. Something that I rarely get enough of.
What sleep I do get is normally tainted by an overactive mind, which is a bi-product of the stimuli I get from the ride we call life.
For tonight I hope that I have downloaded enough thoughts to have a peaceful night, enabling me to continue to go into the mortuary that is defined as my current employment.
Goodnight.
