Time is funny thing...

Today, some of the gracious members of this forum gave us some great picture taking tips. While trying some new pictures, it got me to thinking. I bought my Rolex new in January 2000, to celebrate the birth of our first child. Matt was born in December 1999, which is kind of cool in itself - the last month of the last year in the last decade of the last century. I was 41 years old (late bloomer, had a hard time giving up my batchelorhood!). My GMT II was made the year he was born, and it will be his someday. They're both 20 years old, and he's a junior in college. The watch just had it's first ever factory service and looks almost new again. If I wait another 20 years, he'll be 40, I'll be 82 (God willing). Will I be a grandpa? Will I still be skiing? Riding my dirt bike? Drinking too much beer? I guess only time will tell...

I hope you’re all of those things (God willing) OP!!

When I was a young man I never believed those older than me when they told me how much time flies. The last 10 yrs are a blur for me. I don’t know if time moves faster when you’re happy or if it just comes with age or whatever. I do know to enjoy every moment and memory we can. I’ve always been happy with my life but never took the time to stop and actually enjoy my happiness. I have to take pictures to document the date just because time flies so fast I remember something as last month when it was really 6 months ago.

Enjoy your blessings and life OP and anyone else reading this comment. Life will pass you by at an incredible pace. Not to be cliche but “seize the day”!
