Am I the only person that feels like I must have been living in fast forward for the last month? How is it that time has become so compressed? It seems like Thanksgiving was just last week, and here we are in the New Year. No wonder I have trouble writing 2009.
A friend who has lived longer and is much wiser than me, once explained it to me this way. When you are a youngster, say aged 11, you have only experienced eleven Christmases, and most likely only remember seven of them. When you are 52, you have experienced 52 Christmases, when 76 - 76, and so on. Since you have lived through more, the perspective is different about time. The longer you live, the quicker the seasons, even years come and go.
I find a conspiracy theory much more plausible. The time has simply been stolen from me. I'd be glad to explain it more, but I'm out of time. Besides, I still have Christmas Cards to mail.
with a song in my heart,
