If my life were an hourglass, I'd be at the point where the sands seem to speed up. Time seems to race by, and there is just so very much I want to do. I cannot begin to keep up! Erica pointed out that it is about a year since our trip to Cooperstown, NY. (Baseball museum and Doubleday Field for the kids...genealogy for me) and today at the FHC [Family History Center] (I'm on the 2nd & 4th Tues now...) I'm still finding more records from Cooperstown! It seems like eons ago that we took that trip. R feels like it was just a short time ago--how our perception of time changes. He is getting his driver's permit this week. But it was only a couple of years ago--it seems, that Sariah was getting hers. Where has the time gone?
Sometimes I worry that I fritter away too much of my time. So I work twice as hard to complete something, everything the next day. Until I drop from exhaustion. I'm still working on the concept of not running faster than you are able. Sigh.
In my personal scripture study I'm reading (in Italian--really makes me slow down and truely ponder as I try to understand) and I realize that we are at the very end of the parable of the Olive trees. around vs 75--just before the period of gathering (the millenium) begins. As I read it, we are among the "few" servants doing the final preparations in the vinyard. I feel so responsible.
I feel the need to pick up the pace of my life. Sigh. I've gone back to making lists--something I'd quit years ago because I was driving myself insane, literally. But I am using them judiciously: list of where I need to go and what I need to purchase, where. One does need to plan the time carefully when on a bike.
The weather is warming, so it is getting much more pleasant to be out. Sigh. Better get to bed so I can get up in the morning!:D
