No one has commented so I thought at least I'd comment on yours. I'm a bit older than you but not necessarily wiser. Recently I heard someone say; When you are young days fly by but a year seems long. But when you're old, the years fly by but a day seems long. Not my experience. Time seems to accelerate no mater if you are having a slow day or are immersed in the flow and oblivious to times passage. I am in my mid fifties but I have already outlived my parents by 80 something years. Well, if you add each parents time of being gone from my life as if one could do such a thing and get away with it. But I have outlived both of them by over ten years each in age and have no real reference for aging. In consciousness I feel the same as in first grade, something static about being aware in space-time even though experiences and role changes offer opportunity to alter ones identity, at what point does ones life become an "act". Newscast anouncers from mid century still had a certain way of speaking that seems to have gone. Was that how people really spoke then or was that newscaster caste speach? I believe you are both that young person you seem and experienceing all the environment and entropy that has us look back in wonder at the vanishing act of our past. Keep up the good aging. That's enough comment. Hey my first comment! Benafia Well jnstrom, I just started a first blog this last week. No one has commented so I thought at least I’d comment on yours.

I’m a bit older than you but not necessarily wiser.

Recently I heard someone say; When you are young days fly by but a year seems long. But when you’re old, the years fly by but a day seems long. Not my experience.
