Where has the Summer Gone?

July 31, 2008

I can't believe it is July 31st.  What HAPPENED?  It seems like it was just Spring.   I had a promising summer building (that crashed and burned with the loss of my job and the breakup of what I thought was a relationship with a lot of hope in it).  Now I'm finding myself going into August and what happened?

I can't believe it is July 31st.  What HAPPENED?  It seems like it was just Spring.   I had a promising summer building (that crashed and burned with the loss of my job and the breakup of what I thought was a relationship with a lot of hope in it).  Now I'm finding myself going into August and what happened?

The older you get, the faster time passes.  I'm told that it's a relative thing - relative time spent on the planet.  I remember when I was a kid and we got back from our annual trip to Tahoe in mid August, and I started a countdown to Christmas at 144 days.  It seemed like an ETERNITY but I know that sheesh - 3 months from now, we're on Halloween and I swear once Halloween comes, Christmas is in your lap before you know it.

Where will I be then?  Working, I hope.  Its been a rough one...very emotional as emotions have been turned back on that were dormant for years.  It is tough right now...but I am being creative and proactive.  What else can I do?  I'm not going to lay down and die.  NO WAY. 

Onward and upward...
