I have to be honest, I got the inspiration for today’s post from The Daily Post, but it’s something that has been on my mind quite a lot lately…the lyrics to one of my favorite Willie Nelson songs.
It’s been so long now but it seems now,
That it was only yesterday.
Gee, ain’t it funny how time slips away?
The idea of time slipping away has been front and center. My oldest daughter recently turned four. My youngest turns two on Saturday.
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about “should have done” and “what if’s” and how life would have turned out if some different choices had been made along the way.
Every so often I look around and wonder where the time went, only to feel lost as to where my time should go. Click to Tweet
We try so hard to plan out our lives, to control our own destiny, to organize everything just so…but then I remember the words of James.
And as I have seen friends this week deal with the tragic loss of their loved one that was taken from this life far too soon, I’m reminded that we really have to make the most of every opportunity we have because we really don’t have time to waste.
So hug your loved ones a little tighter, treat others a little kinder, and don’t waste your time worrying about the things you can’t change.
Because before you know it, your time will be gone.
