Is it me or...
 

Has this year completely FLEW by?!?!?!?
I feel like it should still be summer....but in reality Thanksgiving has come and gone and the stores are all decked out in their Christmas decorations. The christmas lights are up around my house...realtives are beginning to ask me what I want from Santa for Christmas like im still 5 years old and still think that he exists...Im reaching for an actual coat when I leave the house.
As I get older the years just race by me and im left wondering what have I ACTUALLY done this year? Have I changed, have my friends change, have I lost anyone close to me, have I accomplished any of my goals for this past year...these are the questions that I ask myself every year around this time. It seems like there have been so many negative things that have happened this year. Not only to my immediate life but to our world as a whole.
Every year this time I remember the John Lennon song... Happy Christmas (War Is Over)...The line that gets me every time is...
"And so this is Christmas For weak and for strong For rich and the poor ones
The world is so wrong"
I find myself thinking of this song more and more - wishing that the words would be true for us all......
"So this is Christmas And what have you done Another year over
And a new one just begun And so this is Christmas I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one The old and the young A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year Let's hope it's a good one Without any fear And so this is Christmas For weak and for strong For rich and the poor ones The world is so wrong And so happy Christmas For black and for white For yellow and red ones Let's stop all the fight A very merry Christmas And a happy New Year Let's hope it's a good one Without any fear And so this is Christmas
And what have we done Another year over And a new one just begun And so this is Christmas I hope you have fun The near and the dear one The old and the young A very merry Christmas And a happy New Year Let's hope it's a good one Without any fear War is over over If you want it War is over Now..."

Just sharing my thoughts....

Well I agree that the year has flown. You made me think of things I hadn't thought of. thanks

:( I didnt mean to depress you or anything...I was just sitting here listening to the radio and that song came on... Sorry

I think as we get older time flies by...or we notice time more than we did when we were kids...its crazy how the years fly by so quickly isnt it??

Dawn

you are right. this has been a very fast year. the last couple of years have blown by.

i used to think my parents were crazy when they said this would happen :rolleyes:

year
 

The years are like months to me...How did I get to be 62 so fast...I feel 12 !!

That was such a nice post. I've never heard that song before.

This year has flown by like crazy for me. I remember when the ball dropped, I yelled out the window "Happy 2007 Milltown!" haha. I think back at all the things that have happened in this past year. Half of my year was absolutly glorious and I couldn't have loved it more, then the last half things got so weird.

It almost scares me how fast this year went by. I feel like as I get older the years get shorter and shorter....it gives you a new appreciation for time.

I hadn't realized how fast the year had gone by until I read this thread. Now I'm sitting here totally shocked. I feel like I've changed completley as a person since the beginning of this year.

Oh I wasn't thinking of depressing things....just how fast the year went and all that has happened but in the end how blessed I am. Patty

No it's not just you, it did fly by!

:D i have been saying this has been the fast year for me. I was married a little over a year ago and i have had bella almost a year..so many things going on it just flew

years
 

My father was in the military..one time we moved 5 times in 5 years...if I knew I was only going to be in a place for a year, I wouldn't even bother to unpack now...LOL

2007 has flown by ... seems like yesterday it was Valentine's day ... now we are decorating for Christmas ...

Wow - I cant imagine moving that many times - I hate to pack! :)

It feels like Christmas was just here, and now it's back again. I can't believe how fast time flys.

I agree time is flying too fast. I love that song but the one i listen to is "So this is Christmas" by Celine Dion
