December 12--Flying Moments

Part of me believes that love is more valuable when you have to work for it. 
--Augusten Burroughs

    I take odometer photos often, as I am a "numbers nerd," and I find number patterns entertaining. I took this one in our RAV4 (affectionately known as "the Spaceship") a few days ago, and it set me to thinking about a "moment in time." At age 69, I am much more aware of the limitations of time. 

    Typically any odometer reading is a minute or so in time, and on that vehicle, you'll not see the same odometer number ever again. But wait! I took this photo when I had parked at the YMCA for a swim, so this odometer reading lasted almost two hours. 

    Time is fickle. A fun event speeds by and a dreaded chore drags on forever. Are you not amazed this December 12th how fast this year has flown!?!? Nowadays, my schedule has made Tuesdays challenging for me, and I am relieved each week to make it to Wednesday. Yet I remind myself to stop wishing my life away. The same applies to my desire to be past the Christmas holiday. 

    Staying in THIS moment in time and enjoying it,
