As humans we are all so subject to the concept of time....and deadlines....and it rules our lives.....when we need to be there......or there........when this will be happening......or when it won't.....and time spins all around us dictating our lives to a large degree.....and as time has gone by, see there it is again;-) I have come to feel that time is a lot like the concept of failure to me.....and what I mean is that while time is necessary in a real sense.....logistically, like we have to be to work at this time......or the kids need to be to school at this time.....or the party starts at.......or.......you get the idea, but the time I am speaking about is the bigger picture stuff.....and I have come to believe that at any given moment we are RIGHT ON TIME:) And I think when you become my age and become single.....the concept of the time left in your life speaks to you.......I felt as if I was at the halfway part......and still that is my assertion.....I plan on living well into little old lady status, I still got lots to do here:) BUT......there becomes this franticness I see in single folks my age......worried about spending the rest of their lives alone.......and willing to accept whatever to have that not be so......or kind of resigning themselves to this or that because what to do they have left anyway.....and WHAT????? That school of thought makes me cringe kinda......gotta be honest lol:) That gives no credit to the magic of our lives....or the timeline of our lives.....or honoring the present.....which may be being single but satisfied......and so much more.....so as I got thinking of time, I thought we really are right where we are supposed to be at a given point and there is no right or wrong.....or must do, or any of it......I am currently in love....like for real:) and I am not sure yet if this will be the last love of my life.....and I am totally OK with that......maybe I love him till that little old lady status, and we ride into the sunset, I am deeply fond of him so that absolutely could be;-) OR maybe we spend a few years together, and go our separate ways......and I either don't love again or I do......and all of that is OK.....not subject to time, or a false panic to do this or do that......and it feels amazing, I have to say......freeing myself in that piece has been magic.......after my ex husband left and realizing sooner than later that being alone was OK too......and really wrapping my arms around my alone......and making total peace with it......reverence even......so I just wanted to put that food for thought out there......what if YOU are RIGHT ON TIME:) Because well......I believe you are:) Happy Saturday!!:)
What if THIS???
