The New Year

Well, it is now the third day of the new year and I don't feel very new. I feel old and weary. Maybe this year will be different, maybe not. Whatever the case may be, time will not stop on my account. It will keep trudging along at that steady rate it keeps whether I like it or not. I would like more time in the day to get stuff done and more time at night to get sleeping done! I would like more time with my family! More time for fun! More time for reading! More time for learning! I would like more time.
Actually, I am not entirely sure more time will make much of a difference. I've put 34 years in on this earth already and I haven't caught up on that time. Oh sure, I've spent time with my boys teaching, learning, playing, loving, laughing, and just hanging out. I've spent time with my husband pretty much in the same way. What I have spent too much wasted time on is; cleaning, vegging, laundry, yelling, moping, and just feeling blah...
Mind you there are things that we have no control over in this steady rate of time passing. I can't stop flus, colds, and exhaustion, no matter what family member has it. I can't stop working and my hubby can't stop going to school. We need to make a living you know!
I suppose if I look back and than look forward, the years blend and pass over each other with a blur. However there are times that stand out from the foggy memories of days forgotten.
I remember birthdays, family get togethers, a good joke, hanging out with my family watching a good movie, laughing in the warm sun at the park, and having frozen fingers while building a snow fort.
My New Year's Resolutions would be to have many more memories that don't blur or fade into the backdrop of time.
Happy New Year! May you have time...
