I am befuddled by the fact that when you are young, boredom rules the day. I remember hot, lazy summer days with my friend Suey, rolling around on the floor, eating Cheetos and grapes (don't even ask me why!), watching soap operas, absolutely BORED TO TEARS!
After college came the job, followed by marriage, followed by children...Days warped in to weeks, weeks in to months and months in to years - each picking up speed along the way.
In this time warp, the urgent often overtakes the important. Priorities often overtake passions. Dreams get put on hold.
While your interests begin to multiply, the time to do them all begins to shrink.
In this time warp, you realize that your life's speed just will keep accelerating.
Do the important. Make passions a priority. Make time for your interests. Follow your dreams.
You never know when your time warp will be up...
Oh, and sit back and smile when you see your kids bored to tears on the floor. Their time warp will come.
