Time

It's an overcast day in late March. Old man Winter is laying down to sleep, and the Spring is waking it's tired bones to breath new life into the world. It's currently 38 degrees out, and as of this week ,the Robins have started to come out. The owner of the horse farm behind me has started to let the horses out to roam in the pasture. The trees are still barren of leaves and should be budding in the next few weeks. Clocks have recently changed, so, the glowing fire in the sky stays up just a bit longer than it has during the winter providing comfort and reassurance that warm weather is around the corner. 

It's been a while since I've decided to take a crack at this. It's hard to find the time to write, or, maybe it's there isn't enough time in the day to lay these words down. Being as single father, working full time, side hustles, and trying to spend time with they boy and house projects. My time is spread as thin as the ice is currently in Chickawaukie Lake. I suppose that's what's been on my mind as of late, time. We're not getting any younger and the older I get the fast that life seems to go by. Long gone are the days of carefree summers that lasted for ever. I was 18 yesterday, and I am approaching my 41st birthday next week. Orion has started to become his own person, with his own interests. It seems like yesterday he was my 4 year old toe-headed kid that was eager to go on adventures. He's now almost 11. The time went by fast. I feel like I lost 5 years time with him, as it's taken me a few years to get my mind right from the divorce. Where I am in a better place now, and can focus on him It still saddens me that my head wasn't 100% in the game at all times.

There's been a lot of loss in the family and close calls over the last year. I'm not going to get into the details, but certainly a loss of  old family and new family. It's been a lot to process and probably the catalyst to me getting wrapped up around this whole time thing. We don't have as much time as we think we do, enjoy it, hug your family because we don't know if we are going to wake up tomorrow.
