Passed 1/3 and quickly coming up on 1/2 of this month of September!  The reality is that a day for all of us has 24 hours of 60 minutes each, but it does appear that the rate at which it passes does increase as you get older.  So, my day goes faster then your day!  I have decided that that is a result of the "I can't wait for Christmas" syndrome.  When I was young that was the way I looked at my life.  Big events that had come to mean a lot seemed to come slowly.  'I couldn't wait' for Summer to come, then it was for school to start.  That special vacation seemed ridiculously far away. And birthdays, it just seemed that I was always anxious for something in the future and went through my days in anticipation not really appreciating the present.  Well, enter experience and age and now I am different:  I know that 'it' will come eventually, and usually sooner then I am ready.  I have resigned myself to the reality that the present can be just as exciting as the future if lived properly.   It also has to do with proper preparation for that special event.  They don't just happen.  Good things have to be planned and prepared for.  So there is just too much to do each present day to worry too much about something coming.  That way not only is the present much more pleasant, but with proper preparation the event will come in a much better way too.  Words of Wisdom from the old Geezer!
