Last night I laid my head on Daniel's shoulder and lamented. I lamented that life is just whirring by, the days seem to simply disappear. I can't find the switch to slow things down. I feel like I am running a hundred miles an hour and all I want to really do is walk, slowly. I want to enjoy my husband, I want to enjoy my children's childhood, to take the time to figure out who I really am, and to develop deep friendships. Daniel was so comforting by saying: "It's only going to go by faster." Bleh! Not what I wanted to hear. Sadly, I know it is true. But, there has to be someway, somehow. We already don't have a t.v., we eat dinner as a family, I don't work outside the home... Is this truly the way life is?

Life is really tooooo busy. At the end of everyday I look back and ask "what happened" what did I miss. I spend way too much time in the kitchen, on the road and cleaning. I dont know how else to slow it down either. And Daniels words are too true.
I agree, life goes too quickly. I guess the only thing you can do is try and cherish every second you have with yourself and your family.
i know what hwat you mean, and i've begun to realize that i've spent the last 20 years waiting for things and now i want it to stop. i wanna time to stop. i'm happy and i don't want anything too bad but time doesn't stop. so what do you do about it...? i guess we will know when its too late right.
