My Dad reminded me today that it was just over a year ago that I crashed my car and I was quite shocked, it really seemed longer ago than 12 months. So much has happened in the last year, my vehicular misadventures aside.
On an academic side I went back to college and got a post grad qualification, on work side my job has grown and expanded in ways I never really imagined when I took it. I moved house yet again, this is becoming an annual tradition!! I have people I consider close friends whom I didn't even know existed a year ago and I have no contact with some people who I thought would always be a constant part of my life.
On a spiritual side I went through a dark patch where I was rebellious and angry at God and didn't want anything much to do with him or His church and tonight I chatted with someone about how even though its always a journey back when you've walked away, I'm at least heading in the right direction.
As i get older time goes by more quickly and I'm becoming conscious of two things simultaneously; my need to fill that time with doing things and the need to prioritise what I do. I'm also learning to marry this instinct to 'live extravagantly' with the necessity to live simply, to 'ruthlessly eliminate hurry' and live in the present. Life, situations, dramas, and all that human interaction entails will happen whether I strive to make it happen or not.
