Where Has The Time Gone.

I often will wander around Facebook on days when I have a hard time thinking of a post topic.  Today while I was exploring, I paused to congratulate my friend's daughter on being named class valedictorian.  I had been scrolling for about 5 minutes when it hit me.  My high school friend's daughter is graduating from high school.

I realize that I am getting older.  But was it not just yesterday (27 years ago) that he and I walked across that same stage to receive our diplomas.  Where has the time gone?

I have graduated from high school and university.  I have been married, divorced, and remarried.   Yet it all seems to have passed in the blink of an eye.

My wife and I have started discussing retirement plans.  The other day, a friend told me it was time to get my affairs in order and write my will.  Where has the time gone?

A week or so ago, our church choir sang at a memorial service.  I listened to all the exciting things this man accomplished in his life.  All the exciting places that he has visited.  Well, I cannot say that I have led such an exciting life, but I can say it is, so far, been an interesting one.
