New Year's Eve - The Last Thoughts

The last thoughts of 2007...

Why should the change of a number matter so much? So, we enter another year? Should there really be any importance attached to that? The days in fact, seem to run together with increasing speed. As time ticks by and we age, we find that time itself is eluding our grasp. As a child you feel that your days drag by and you wait, anticipating holidays and celebrations. As an adult, you struggle to achieve what you need within the allotted time spot, and you usually end up working into overtime to compensate for the lack of regular time.

Is there any way to slow down the process of aging? Is there a way to enjoy life more fully, without worrying or being anxious about things that need to be done, words that need to be said, changes that need to be made?
