Do you ever get the feeling that you are speeding ahead at 100 miles/minute and yet when you stop for a second you feel like you are in the exact same place as when you started? I don't know that it's quite like running in circles. It's more like running with one of those elastic bands tied to your back. Worse yet, like seeming in one of those stupid pools where the water moves and you don't. The treadmill for lap swimming!
I feel as though one moment I can sit and reflect and be so happy with my accomplishments. See where I've been, where I am now, and what's coming up. Sometimes you have to stop and look at what mountains you've climbed to be truly stunned by what you can accomplish. I definitely have those moments. But then there's other times where I feel like I have been sitting in the same place for the past 6-8 years. No movement, no change, just 'stasis'. I see friends flying by me, accomplishing dreams, fulfilling hopes and moving into the next stages of their lives.
Maybe that's the joy of being in your late 20's. It's one of those life-stage changing moments. People are getting married, having kids, traversing around the country for new careers. I feel like so many of my friends are passing me by, though I'm sure many of my friends look at me and think the same thing. Maybe its just that "keeping up with the Jones' " mentality.
Back to that lovely lap-swimming treadmill. When I look at the odometer, I see that I've swam the width of the Atlantic Ocean, but yet, I'm still in the same damn tub!
Quote of the day: Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery and today is a gift!
