In less than two months my children will be released from school for summer break. This years seems to have gone by a little to quickly.
I only realized how close the end of the school year was when my daughter, Aislyn, hands me the notification about the DC trip the 8th Graders will be taking next spring. I was stunned that we were already talking about next years activities. Holy Cow! :)
Then it occured to me that my youngest will no longer be in elementary and that she will begin Junior High in the Fall. Aislyn will be in her final year of Junior High and will be scheduled to graduate in June 2011. Evan will be a sophomore. What happened to all the time?
The countdown to the last one turning 18 seems to be happening a little too quickly. Not long after I am certain that we will be planning weddings for our children. This is just crazy.
I need to find a way to slow down time so that it doesn't escape from me.
Any ideas?
As writers, we need to draw from our experiences and find ways to infuse who we are into the stories we tell. Julia Cameron, the author of the Artist's Way, states: "We must write from love and we must choose those to read us who read from love: the love of words. The love of naming our experience must finally be the guiding force in what we put on the page."

Scrapbook your children. Like, mount them with those cute little photo corner things. OR you could laminate them, to presesrve them forever. :)
Time is speeding up. The Chilean earthquake altered the earth's rotational speed. Maybe it has to do with the scripture about "cutting short the time." :)
