A quote by Dr Seuss came to mind while reading your article: “how did it get so late so soon?”

We chase after time, while the act of chasing only accelerates its passage. Nice article!

Well said Lyle we all need to be reminded of this.

Thanks for this, Lyle. Your point was well-met. I turned 39 last month, and just in the past year or two have I been learning to not spin my wheels between regrets of the past and anxiety about the future. Well, most of the time.

Nobody is perfect. I still do it all the damn time, especially thinking about the past. I write these type of things as a reminder to myself. Thanks for sharing your perspective and a belated happy birthday to you!
