The Journey

It is a long way from birth to death
but a short time in between.

Man time flys. Seems like last week I started my annual spring return to fitness. Not that I get a lot out of shape but I like to take some time after the season to just do as little as possible fitness wise. For me, five or six weeks with no workout agenda is just fine. Problem is as I age those few weeks go by faster and faster. So the year follows and before I know, it's over. Can I look back on that particular year and say I accomplished all I wanted too? Maybe, but probably not. Here's the thing. As I grow older I am not looking back at what I did or didn't do but look forward to what new things I can do. It is just that I am more aware of how quickly I am using up the time. I guess that's why those few weeks of down time feel so good.
Maybe that's what they mean by, take time to smell the roses. Who ever they are I'm liking them more and more as the years go by.
