Today, the clouds and winds swirled around like something familiar. Have you ever had dejavu like that? It felt like I had been transported back in time...so weird. I was just walking in to my office from a quick Walgreens run and I instantly started thinking about time. It made me feel sad...there are so many things that happened in my life that I don't remember - that sucks if you really think about it. There are so many things that I wish I could do in my life...and that sucks too. I pouted all the way in to my office building. I went into the bathroom and just looked at myself. I was trying to look for aging lines and gray hair...( I found one - a gray hair; but lost it again in the masses...lol. I hope it stays lost!) Anyway, after my "weirdo" session in the bathroom it just hit me that I still have time to do those things that I wish I would have - even those things I don't even know that I want to do yet. I guess, I put a lot of weight in age - and I should really stop. I need to stop telling myself that I'm getting to old to do this or that...because I'm not. AND neither are you.
Walking in to the building with the erie wind and clouds surrounding me, leaving my "weirdo" bathroom bit and allowing myself to smile at me... was when I decided I'm not too old. I have decided to put less energy into what I wish I could do and the things I have forgotten and put more energy into what is to come. This is much easier said than done, but I think it is important...
I've been meaning to respond to this post for a while. I find myself in that space too sometimes, but then I remember that we're only a decade or so into womanhood (I made a post about that) and we still have more than double the life we've lived thus far to work (that amazes me!).
ReplyDeleteIt amazes me too! Tina - always good for a fantastic perspective...:)
