Today is a beautiful day! The sun is shining over the peaks of the mountains, as the light trickles in through the windows and curtains. And honestly, being stuck at a job five days a week makes me appreciate weekends like this more than ever. This day has been busy with me doing writing jobs, but it has also been extremely peaceful. As I spend time on my second website and get ready for a gathering tonight with friends, I am reminded of how fast time goes by.
Seems like yesterday I was a kid so eager for the summer holiday. Time went by so slowly as a kid. I didn’t have the best childhood but I still have memories of being a kid and climbing trees and playing on the climbing bars, or the carousels that spin super-fast. Now-a-days those are considered dangerous on the playground but when I was a kid, they were the most fun. I also remember going to my locker in high school. Do you all remember how important we thought things were? Things like, popularity status, weekend plans, and why didn’t so-and-so call me?
Now I’m more than ten years out of high school and think things like rent, bills, and work projects are important, longing for the more carefree days. Although, this does remind me of a quote I once read from Cora Harvey Armstrong, “Inside every older person is a younger person wondering what the hell happened?” While this makes me chuckle, it also has a ring to truth to it. I don’t consider myself old. I consider myself just blooming. I have lived a little over 30 years growing up exploring, and even trying out love, but it all went by so fast. That is why I am striving to keep track of my goals for the year, which now leads me to my next challenge.
One thing I have lost track of in my tangled past is my love for dancing and fitness. Before my car accident I danced constantly and loved it. However, years later I am mostly healed from my car accident, no thanks to the drunk driver, and still have not dived back into dancing. I’m not sure what it is I’m afraid of exactly. Maybe it’s because I’m afraid I won’t be as good as I use to be? Maybe my back injury can come back? I don’t know what exactly has been holding me back but I’m sick of excuses. So, I am challenging myself to find a way to bring that back. I will be looking up dance studios and classes to join and get back into my old fitness self. I am super excited about it. I will also keep track with my progress! Wish me luck everyone! Time flies so fast as we discussed and I don’t want any more time to pass without living the life I want. What about you guys?
