Huffing and Puffing ..

What follows was what occurred to Mary Schmich in May 1997, and are not my original thoughts, but they resound with each one of our lives in more than one way..

"Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth, but never mind... you will not realize the power and beauty of your youth until it fades.. but trust me, 20 years from now, you will look back at photos of yourself, and realize how fabulous you really looked.. you are not as fat as you imagine.. "

While moving in the fastest lane on the freeway connecting the super small cubicle dedicated to me, in this super large tech company to my cozy little room in this oh-so-expensive apartment complex, in your super expensive, extremely good looking car... dressed to kill, smiles ready to dispense, cards ready to be swiped... we run day in and day out...

And then, we stop once in a while to look back at photographs, of the good times... and it didn't really take 20 years to get there... every once in a while, while we stop to catch our breaths, the thought resounds.. time is flying..

Is it really the time that is flying.. ? Maybe we need to slow down a little...
