Seasons
put my life into perspective. I stare under the trees in the area where I
live and know not only that some of them are older than me, but will be
here for many generations to come long after I’m gone. It puts things into
perspective for me.
In a
flash, I have aged. I have
propelled myself through another 5 years in my life. And before I know it, I’m in my
40s, 50s, and finally 60s. Decades
seem to fly by and before I realize it time can fly by me.
Life is not a dress rehearsal. When I was younger, I did not act in
the moment because I thought there would always be another moment. No longer do
I let so many opportunities and possibilities pass me by. I pursue every opportunity that
presents itself, and try and live as much in the moment as possible.

It is not
always easy. I lose track
of days and weeks that dissolve into months and before I know it, another
season has come and gone. I
look back on those days and say, “What do I have to show for the last three
months?” Sometimes, not a
lot. Sometimes I will think
only in terms of my work, and put aside my own spiritual and emotional needs.
When a change
of season is upon me, I realize that I have to try and as much as possible be a
whole person. And work on
all areas in my life as much as possible day to day, week to week, and month to
month.
Sure, some
weeks, some area may suffer from a little neglect. But I should never let
months or seasons go by without paying attention and taking care of my needs. None of us should.
