When you reach a certain age, time seems to reach warp speed. If you blink, you might miss a week, month or year. Thus, as I approach the big 50, I need to slow down, living moment to moment.
As a high school student, back in the Glory Days, I possessed a vibrant spirit, embracing each second with friends or enjoying special events. However, along the journey of life, I’ve lost my youthful exuberance. Instead of cherishing and savoring memories, I’ve turned into a grumpy old man who has lost his joy for living.
From a biblical perspective, all I can do is to develop a James 4:13-15 mindset. My inner child longs for the days of old, living care free, without any concern or worry for tomorrow. While change won’t happen over night, I am seeking to revive my soul by living moment to moment!
