Time

Today I have been thinking about time and how fast it truly speeds along. They say that the older you get, the faster it goes. Boy, isn't that the truth?!
This topic came up because I discovered that the daughter of a girl that I graduated high school with is graduating from high school tomorrow!!! More importantly, my son's last day of kindergarten was today and he has his first loose tooth!!! Both of those events combined illustrate how quickly time can slip through your fingers if you aren't truly present in the moment or aren't savoring every single second of life.
During my recovery, I have been reminded time and again of how much time I wasted when I was engaged in my addiction. Years upon years of efforts, money, broken hearts, and sacrificed self-dignity. At least I am glad for all of the lessons that my acting out has taught me over the years. And I will forever be grateful for all that Program has given me as well. I will continue to look forward to my Serenity journey.
