thought for the day

And now February is here.  Where did January go?  It seems like just yesterday it was Christmas!  Time really does fly the older i get, it seems.  And since the older i get, the more i come to accept how precious time truly is...i hate that it goes by so quickly.

This time of year, with the anniversary of Mom's passing coming up, i tend to think more about time...about my time...about how i spend my time.  Sometimes i regret the way the i spend my time currently.  i know i definitely regret some of the ways i have spent my time in the past, but there is no need to dwell on that now as i cannot change it.  But currently, sometimes i think to myself "Why do i spend all this time doing homework, trying to clean the house....daily things like that, when i could be doing something fun?"  The truth is, those things are fun to me...at least as an adult...but just fun in a different way.  i find an odd sense of accomplishment in those few moments when i feel like i have balanced the different areas of my life.  It doesn't happen often, but i relish in it when it does!

Now, on the other hand, i am ready to use my time in some other ways.  i am ready for some new discoveries, some new experiences.  i have realized lately that i am at a point in life where things are comfortable.  There is totally nothing wrong with being comfortable.  But, to me, being comfortable all of the time means that nothing is changing.  There is nothing new in my life.  That is not the depressing statement that it sounds like though.  i love my life.  i am just ready to add to it.  i definitely have my daily, weekly, monthly routines...but it is time to make room for something new to enhance my life.  i will not get a second chance at this life so i need to make the most of it. 

Cheers
