I was running on the trail Tuesday.
I felt like I had a good pace going and was in the zone, when a little
girl, who couldn't have been older than 7 or 8, zoomed past me. As I
watched her little legs speed ahead of me, I actually thought 'Hey! Wait up! Don't
leave me here in the dust!'
And, then, it hit me.
It was like my life metaphor was
played right before my eyes.
Here I am trucking along on the
trail of life, while everyone else is zooming past me starting families of
their own.
Every one keeps telling me, 'But,
you're so young. You still have time.'
Yet, I kid you not, my facebook
newsfeed is filled with baby story after baby story.
How come I am so young?
And, their time is now.
It doesn't really seem fair.
So, I am going to need all of the
hares out there to stop and take their nap now, because this little tortoise
needs a chance to catch up.
