August 3: Seasons

The other day I had the thought that I have more years behind me than ahead of me. I don't have any regrets about my life, and if I'm lucky, I still have a few decades to go before I shuffle off this mortal coil. However, it's sobering to realize you've lived longer than you have left to live, at least in this lifetime.

I've led a good life so far, and I've been lucky in many ways. I love to learn, and my life has been all about learning. I hope it continues to be. Even the difficult times have been learning experiences. I don't like to stagnate. I get bored easily and embrace change and new opportunities and challenges. I think you have to learn to make the best of things if you want to have any chance at happiness.

I look back on the seasons of my life, and for the most part, I smile. There have been highs and lows, but thankfully, more highs than lows and a whole lot of smooth sailing. I had a fairly happy spring, an awesome summer, and I'm enjoying autumn. I'm not quite ready for winter, but winter is coming whether we want it to or not. ;)
