Feeling very reflective today. I have been feeling the brevity of time. Maybe it's because I'll be 30 in two months. Maybe it's because we've experienced two deaths in the past year. Maybe it's because the children have grown so much this past year--I no longer have any babies. Life seems to be going faster & faster.

Sometimes I feel myself hanging on too tightly to The Way Things Were. I want to bottle Jude up and keep him just as he is. I don't want my children to grow up!

But survival demands that I adapt, that I change, that I remain flexible. And herein lies the rub because the older I get, the more resistant to change I become.

Keep moving, keep working, keep excercising, keep loving, keep giving. Keep going.
