Time's Ticking

I look around me sometimes and I wonder where the time has gone. Seems like yesterday that I was graduating high school and getting my license. Not to mention wandering what I was going to do with my life. 

I'm not sure if life just got away from me or I got away from life. My life sure never turned out like I imagined it would. Actually, it turned out the total opposite of what I had in mind. For instance, I had no desire for marriage or children. Well turns out I am married with four children. I also was never a dog person. Yep you guessed it, I have had several of those too.  Crazy huh?

Now here I sit watching time fastly go by and wondering where the next years will take me. Funny thing is, I'm tired and not sure where I want to be.  Life hasn't been exactly kind at times. It's definitely been exhausting.

My mother always told me the older you get the faster it goes. Boy was she right. Perhaps my last years will bring me much peace and joy.  As for now, I'll accept my time with my family and friends and hope it slows down just a little bit.
