WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE?


Someone please tell me where the time goes! The older I get the faster it flies by. My children should still be in diapers, shouldn't they? (Boy would they hate to hear that one :-)
It's like they no longer need me, except for money, laundry, meals, borrowing the car, car insurance, living expenses, clothes, etc., okay they still need me a little bit. I suppose they just no longer need me to answer life's important questions. For instance, where do babies come from, why is the sky blue, why is that person in a wheel chair, why do nursing homes smell funny, I could go on, but I won't.
Time is strange, one minute your in your mid twenties, have a home, children, husband, the next minute your in your early forties, wondering where did I put my keys? What I hate the most is; okay, why is my body hurting in places I never knew I had? In my mind, I'm still a young person, but my body is saying, "oh, no your not!". Or even worse, how can that part of your body sag???? And, if I ever hear, one more time, "your only as young as you feel", well, PEEEE UUUUU! I feel like I'm on the edge of the hill I've been climbing all these years, just about ready to go over the edge. Well, at least I stil have my mind, now where did I put those keys?

Except, perhaps, for your spelling skills. Just kidding: I'm sure it's just a typo.

I can certainly identify. It seems our life is the Heraclitean river in which we swim downstream for the first half and upstream for the second, all during which it's gradually becoming polluted. Meanwhile, it's fun to make up metaphors.
