Merry Christmas 2021

It's hard to believe an entire year has passed us by. Seems as if the older I get, the more quickly time flies. Someone should do something about that. I mean seriously. Wouldn't it be great if time went by more quickly when we're children, and more slowly when we get older? Kids can't wait to grow up, but then when they do they write blogs like this one wishing that time would slow down. They say 'Youth is wasted on the young". Well, I'm gonna add my own take on that. "Time and youth are bass ackwards". I 'd like to petition for a reversal. Can we slow down the years, learn to enjoy the 'golden' ones? Can we find a way to enjoy our journey and not worry about how quickly time is flying?? Can we play like children, take risks as if we still believe we are immortal-enjoy each additional candle added to our birthday cake?? Can we slow down and enjoy all of the moments in life that we never did as a kid? Can we embrace age as a gift, and not as a signal of doom? I guess what we really need isn't a reversal of time, but rather a reversal of our perception of it. We will all grow older if we are lucky. But we need not grow old. Be young at heart. Be present and live in the moment. Make every one of those moments count. Don't allow the time to pass you by thinking about it. LIVE IT. Wishing you all Merry Christmas 2021. Enjoy all the moments of the next 365 days, each of the 8,760 hours in a year and all of the 525,600 minutes till next Christmas.
