Do you ever feel like time never moves? For me, sometimes time can feel frozen. Maybe not time itself, but the present stage of life or time that I am in. Take my high school years for instance. It seemed I was a teen forever. I can remember thinking it was never going to end. I was always daydreaming about what was going to come. Job? Marriage? Kids? House?
And finally, high school graduation came. My oldest sister could not attend my graduation. Why? Oh some silly thing about getting ready to pop a baby out any day. On the serious side, she was reallllly ready to explode. Stomach expanded to it's max & feet the size of Texas. Just a few short days later, along came my nephew. And what a beautiful baby! The best part was, this would be my first time being an "Aunt". I can remember thinking I was gonna spoil him rotten. I wanted to be the best Aunt ever....
I failed miserably at that. I guess I was just too young & dumb. Too wrapped up in my own life. And then my kids came along, starting a whole new stage in my life. A stage that now seems I've been in forever until I stop & think, it's just been 5 short years. But what really scares me is thinking about my nephew. He turns 15 today! 15?! Where did that stage of his life go? Or mine? Time and stages truly do go by in the blink of an eye. Even when you feel like you're standing still.
