What a difference a year makes.

Well it's Monday morning and I am extremely tired, I just didn't get much rest over the weekend. I went to West Virginia to spend time with a friend and we visited other friends. Then I went to his Family Reunion which was nice because I got to see some people that I hadn't seen in years-some as many as 20 years. I recently saw a picture of my third grade "graduating" class and this weekend had the opportunity to take a picture with my best friend and another childhood friend that I hadn't seen in 16 years. We went through school together from kinder garden through high school graduation so it was nice to reminisce. The thought occurred to me on the drive back to Tennessee the changes that take place as time slips away from us. When seeing people on a regular basis the changes are far less noticeable but stretch that out 5 years, 10 years or even 20 years and it is quite thought provoking. Time seems to get away faster and faster every day, every month, and every year.

This time last year the aforementioned friend and I were still feeling the jet lag from a trip to Israel, my devotion was to my college work, my job was secure and I had a happy go lucky attitude toward personal relationships. Now? I haven't taken a vacation this year, my interest in college work has drop to "whatever" mode, my job is shaky and I am still feeling the dull pain from losing the love of my life. What a difference a year makes. I'll add pics later of thrid grade and now. Keeponkeepin'on
