If you had to choose a theme song for the story of your life, what would it be (Youtube welcome), and why?
I thought about it a lot, and finally settled on "Sunrise, Sunset," from "Fiddler on the Roof." At 66, I look back, and it seems like my kids grew up in a flash. Every day seems shorter than the day before...time runs so quickly now.
This is a quote from a book I read a long time ago, and I saved it.
"In childhood it seems time moves at less than foot-pace: A week passes like a month, a summer like a year, a year is a century; while in youth and mid-age the pace picks up, until at life's end the years hurtle by like weeks, turn, and it is Spring, turn again, Fall two years hence…No wonder old folk sometimes forget where they are, and when; hard it is to mount time galloping."
Time is not galloping for me, not quite yet, but it does have a nice, healthy canter going!
