Life in the Fast Lane...

Lately my life has been one big blur as events and moments pass by so quickly they're hard to notice. It's as if I'm a passenger on an express train and have to turn my head quickly to focus on things as they zip by. I've thought several times how nice it would be to buy a place in the country and slow my life down. Work the land and spend a lot of time with the family. It seems a shame we feel that we have to get old enough to retire before we think it's o.k. to make a drastic change. And by the time that day comes, most people are too tired or feeble to make it happen. They die with the though of "what if...". My wife is ready to pickup and move without a trace. But the kids are settled in school, and my work is close. I've applied at a few other places, to see what's out there and if something comes of it I may end up making some drastic change before gray wins.
