Time, time, time


Time. It is what dictates how we run our lives. It keeps us regulated and somewhat imprisoned. It tells us when to commence and when to conclude. Time-see what has become of me....

.... Just where exactly did the years go-Jay and I have been together for almost 20 years. We have been married for 16-WOW!

.... Our son is in double digit years. He will start middle school next year

.... We are both so blessed to have both sets of parents alive. I attribute it to modern day medicine. I know I am not ready to go down that road and am thankful that they aren't either.

.... Our puppy Mickey will be five this year-the same number of years that we have lived in our home.

.... My niece Michelle who was like my practice baby before I became a parent will be driving in 2010. Her sister Ashley-my clone-will have her Bat Mitzvah in May and my cousin Andi will become a mother in January.

.... I have entered into my 20th year of teaching. My first set of Kindergartners are 23 years old. I wonder what direction their lives took.

A spiritual leader who I knew very well had a saying. He said to live your life between the dashes. I think I have done so quite well and plan to continue doing this for many, many years to come even if my life isn't perfect!
