I’m realizing that life is really an exercise in acknowledging that the only thing constant is change. I know that’s such a cliche, but after someone told me the other day that I was “there in the good old days,” I realized that while to me, it always seems like I’m coming in on the tail end of something, other people have the same perception of their own lives. There are no “good old days” or “the end of times.” There is just time. And it’s always moving. And it’s always relative to your own experience.
All you can do is find a way to be happy in the moment and not take yourself too seriously. I’m working toward that.

Thought it was just me. Wow. Just this morning I was thinking of my positioning in Gen X–like, I totally feel part of it, but I know I’m right, as I always phrase it too, “on the tail end.” That has held in so many facets of my life. I’m only just now beginning to begin to actualize the knowledge that this is, indeed, it. Right now.

Hey Megan! I haven’t had a chance to browse your blog (haven’t even updated mine), but it’s great to hear from you! Are you still in Murfreesboro? Please keep checking in. I will start posting again soon.
