At first,
Time is thy enemy
stretching out with
withered hands
stealing your breath
for decades,
years,
minutes,
seconds,
until you start to panic
frantically trying to slow down
every moment,
every day,
every hour,
wheezing in
every
      last
          breath...

Until the day you realize that Time cannot be fought.
It cannot be wrestled into submission.
It cannot be captured or frozen.

It must be embraced.
Enjoyed.
Respected.

You begin to understand that time is not your enemy.
You begin to appreciate all the little moments and love the person that you've become.

Eventually,
We all realize that Time is a gift.
One that we must learn to cherish,
before it's too late.
I think we all struggle with enjoying the little moments in life.  We become so focused on the next job, the next event, or the next day, that we forget to stop and appreciate how far you’ve come and where you are today. I challenge you to just pause tomorrow and enjoy the view.  Enjoy the laughter of the person next to you and APPRECIATE all that you have. It will be worth it I promise:) Time is not our enemy.  So why do we continue to treat it as one?
