Just a brief note, because it has crossed my mind a few times lately. It's just strange how time either stretches or rockets forward at certain ages of our lives. When we were children the school year seemed forever and summer break was over in a heart beat. Christmas seemed to take forever to arrive, and vacations flew by.
As an adult time has slipped into fast forward and seems to have no intention of slowing down. Sometimes it seems like just yesterday I was 22 and preparing to be married. That rascal time is at it again, because I find it hard to believe that another year has almost passed.
Last year, 2011, was a kick Kelly's butt year. I had some mountains to cross, and a few that are still looming ahead of me. It was a year that was a passage out of pain, between my heartache, and my own body. I can hardly believe that Christmas and the New Year are just around the corner now, and 2012 will also pass into remembrance. The holidays last year were hard on me, and it showed in my writing and the one sadly flat Thanksgiving video I posted.
That saying that "time heals all wounds" is quite truthful in my respect. This seasons holidays don't seem so dreaded. I do have at least one family gathering to attend before Christmas. And though I am off this Christmas, I intend to make phone calls and burn up my cell minutes saying hi to family and old friends. I will sit back and enjoy the music and treat it as a relaxing day off. I worked last year, it helped some, but not enough. This year I feel stronger than I did then. Next year? With hope in my heart I will not be alone but instead sharing the holiday season with a good friend and room mate.
I'd like time to slow down a bit now and stop whizzing by so quickly. If anyone has any suggestions, please, comment away. I'd almost prefer the slow motion school year to getting whiplash when looking at the calender. A very loud "Slow down Buddy!" to Father Time. ( Somebody give that Dude a speeding ticket please.)
