			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last Friday was my birthday. I turned 41. It seems like it was just the other day I was talking about how I would no longer be in my &#8220;20&#8242;s&#8221;. Here I am, now in my 40&#8242;s.</p>
<div>
<p>I was thinking quite a bit about this over the weekend - about how time has seemed to fly. I&#8217;m not begrudging getting older because I have a great life and it is always getting better. My thoughts about the years going by so fast have nothing to do with &#8220;getting old&#8221; but instead &#8220;Are the years going by in a blur or in focus?&#8221;</p>
<p>One of my current &#8220;Top 10&#8243; songs is called &#8220;Blink&#8221; (I put a link below so you could hear it). Its lyrics expresses some of what I was thinking about.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>The song starts out:</p>
<p>Teach me to number my days<br />
And count every moment before it slips away<br />
Taking all the colors before they fade to gray<br />
I don&#8217;t want to miss even just a second more of this</p>
<p>Chorus:</p>
<p>It happens in a blink<br />
It happens in a flash<br />
It happens in the time it takes to look back<br />
I try to hold on tight, but there&#8217;s no stopping time<br />
What is it I&#8217;ve done with my life<br />
It happens in a blink</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>One of my birthday wishes/intentions for this new year is that I <strong>&#8220;show up&#8221; to savor the moments that are showing up for me</strong>. I have been so blessed and continue to be blessed on a daily basis &#8211; I want to milk the next 41 years for all their worth.</p>
