The days are long, but the years are short.

I heard Steve Young, former NFL & USFL QB mention this in a documentary about his career. It floored me when I first heard it, and it still does now. Time can move so quickly. I feel everyday. Like most people, by the end of the day I'm worn out. Everyday feels longer than the day before. Yet somehow I look at the Calender and it's December 31st. How did that happen? How does each day feel like the longest day ever but now the year is done? It's December 31st? I remember exactly what I was doing January 1st. I remember thinking I'll never get used to writing 2024 on papers, now I have to start writing 2025? I'll never get used to that. How are my kids 13 and 10 now? Just yesterday they had to hold my finger with thier entire fist when we would walk together. This saying or quote, reminds to take a beat, slow down and take stock of everything. Look and focus on what's in front of me. Instead of being distracted by what might come, or haunted by what has passed. One day my time here will pass, and the next generation takes thier steps into the sun. I want to try and be as present as I can. After all there is 1,440 minutes in a day, yet only 365 days in a year or 366 now and then. Truly the days are long, but the years are short.
