There are days when I’m amazed at how quickly the years pass.  Someone will mention the early 90’s and I’m shocked to realize they were two decades ago.  I balk at that.

And then I come across a picture in a photo album.  This was taken in 2009, just after Judah’s 1st birthday.

Seeing it compelled me to bring my grandson back to the same bridge a few weeks ago for this shot.  Judah is now 4!

If three years goes by in the blink of an eye why am I not surprised that twenty years can also do the same?

I used to hate it when “older people” told me about this phenomenon.  I was young.  Time was all I had and I wanted it to fast forward to my future so I could get on with the business of being an adult.  I wanted to know where I was headed.

Now all I want it to do is slow down.

All of life is a matter of perspective.
