It never ceases to amaze me how fast time passes, which is the very reason that every moment counts. So many things can change in the blink of an eye based on a decision that we make or a lack of judgement by somebody else. Then when such things happen there is the whole adjustment process that we are faced with - and suddenly we are thrown for a loop.

Things that happen are just a part of life and soon become etched in our mind as what was. Byron Katie calls these things "what is". Those little changes in our life that have to be dealt with (almost on a daily basis), which often cause us to take a different tack in life or at least at a minimum change our direction. Something as simple as a phone call can change your perspective on life and how you choose to move forward.

One of the things that I struggle with as I get older is how much time I spend thinking about all of the facets of human society and how one person can be so aware of the rest of the world and yet others are not and think about nothing except self. Perhaps this has to do with the different constructs of the psyche and these folks fall into the class of people that are all about ego and self gratification. In any case, when things happen because of these traits I become puzzled as to how it can be.

Unfortunately for me, I always tend to over analyze situations to try and come up with a rational explanation for why they happen or why people do what they do. I guess at some point, we just have to learn from what happened, otherwise we will spend too much time focused on the past and not where we are now, which is in the current moment.

Love you Tommy, hope you feel better soon.
