A few days ago, I was driving between our shop and a customer's business, and for no apparent reason, I started thinking of time. Maybe it was because suddenly I realized how quickly 2011 is passing by; maybe I was trying to remember the morning which seemed years ago (you know, one of THOSE days); maybe I was just thinking about what I was going to do once I got off of work that day- not really sure what spurred it, but anyway I was thinking of time. Time is the most valuable and fleeting asset we have. Kinda that here today, gone tomorrow kinda thing.... no for real, it's here today and gone tomorrow.
I started thinking about how much had changed in my life in a very short time, relatively speaking. In three short years I experienced the joy of a marriage, the pain of a divorce, the loss of my brother, a tragedy involving one of my best friends, and the joy of finding my true love. That's alot in a few years... at least for me it was. Also in those three years, I've seen great friends have huge changes in their lives as well. From divorces to marriages to babies- it seems like everyone's world has the tendency to be turned upside down in an instant. there are lots of "instants" in a three year period. Many chances for lives to be upside downed, and right side up'd again. I guess I keep using the 3 year thing because I just realize how much has happened in my own life in these past few years. But my point is, as Ferris says,"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." Don't miss out on what happens in your life and don't take for granted that you'll have 3 years to turn it around. Enjoy your instants and realize how precious they are!
