"Problems cannot be solved at the same level of awareness that created them." Albert Einstein

I turned 35 yesterday. I remember when that seemed so old. Now, not so. I remember when my dad was my age. I was just a child. Not one care in the world. That is amazing. Now here I am with a family of my own and a child on the way.
Maybe it is not that I am feeling old, maybe it is that I am feeling more mature. Maybe it is now that I am starting to realize that life is a most precious gift not to be rushed through, but to be treasured. Not trampled on, but handled gently as a pearl of great price.
As I am looking back, there are moments I wish that I could reclaim. There are precious times that I wish I could go back and relive. Only because the only thing that I would do differently is stay awake during the experience. I would take in more detail. Savor the moment. Cherish the time. "We may have never passed this way before. I may never pass this way again." So, my prayer today: "God, help me live life to the fullest. Let me fulfill the destiny you have for me."
