those elusive moments

I remember thinking longingly of January in the throes of December's holiday crunch. January with its long, cold days to snuggle and read and do little. What happened?? January is in the books! And I feel as though I spent very little time doing little! Is it the case with aging, that time speeds up - rather than slows down. Mother always told me this and I laughed! But each month, regardless of the varied activities or lack thereof, zips right by and I just want to put on the brakes! I think with each day as I hop out of bed and jump on the scales, I must remember - each moment is sacred, embrace, lengthen, cherish, enjoy it!
