Labor day blues

Well it's been a Summer.  Now the kids go back to School and life starts to get back to normal.  Christmas is 3 and a half months away.  About that time we will all be remembering Summer fondly.  It's funny and it's sort of how it is for life.  You sit back when you are older and start to realize how wonderful life used to be without you actually ever having realizing it at the time.  I'm 48 years old and am quite literally in the September 6th of my life.  The air is fresh - like the coming Winter and you still have plenty of warmth from the Summer.  Then you think how fast time has gone and that you still feel inside that you are 25 in a lot of ways....but the distance between 25 and 48 is the same distance that is between 48 and 71 which stops you in your tracks. 

The lesson?  Whatever you are going to do...do it now.  Don't let 25 years pass you by.  Grab onto life and passionately strive towards something.  No one is going to do it for you.  The boss isn't going to give you an 'everything you ever wanted in life' bonus from your day to day meanderings. 

If you think you have all the time in the world;  welcome to my world 25 years later thinking 'wow...was that 25 years?  It didn't seem like that long.'   ...and yeah people told me to pick it up...and yeah I didn't realize how right they were.  

Love passionately, Live well and strive to raise the spirits of the people you meet.
