Starting Friday at 5:01pm I am on vacation. I am anticipating that it is going to be a gloriously amazing 10 days off with no cares, worries, or people chewing me out on the phone all day (ah, the life of a claims adjuster... such a special treat). There is going to be lots of holiday celebrating, sleeping, baking/cooking, photography, a Twilight Marathon, a shopping extravaganza and hopefully some working out in there too! Like I said, it is going to be pretty amazing.
Today at work, all I could think about was these 10 work free, stress free days. I couldn't concentrate, counting the minutes until my sweet freedom. Every minute was like an hour - it literally felt as though the day was going to end.
And then I set myself a calendar reminder for January 4, 2012....
2012...
In less than 2 months I will be 28 years old...
6 years since I graduated from college...
10 years since I graduated from high school...
Yikes!
The first thing I thought was - Wow, I am old!
The next thing I thought was - Where has the time gone?
How ironic that as I sat there wondering where all the time has gone I was actively wishing away a week of my life just because I think the next week is going to be better.
Next week is not a guarantee. The next hour isn't even guaranteed. I don't want to live my life thinking the next day, week, month, year is going to be better, only to look back and wonder where all the time went.
It's time to start looking at each day for all the possibilities it has for greatness instead of wishing them all away!
