Right On Time

Life is full of crazy sayings, crazy feelings and crazy thoughts. Here are two thoughts that keep playing in my mind (maybe because they are somehow connected): What would you do if you had 2 months to live? What would you do if you won $150 million? Most likely your answers will very a little between the two but with both most people will answer this way: you will give to those you love and spend time with them. You will have fun in life and not worry about the little things. Some days I think we forget just how lucky we are to be alive and full of thoughts and feelings. Some people aren't nearly so lucky as I am, when I wake up every day in a big bed and go to work and earn a living, albeit a small living.

Life can speed by and seem like a whirlwind. I'm usually spending my days trying to forget about work and I'm spending my nights trying to forget about problems. I always need to take time and relax and enjoy my time. Tonight was one of those nights. I spent a great deal of time talking with Brock about things that had been bugging me or things that I felt I needed to get off my chest. And he shared his thoughts as well. I feel like life needs to slow down. It seems like I moved home ages ago but it was just a year and a half. It's insane how fast time flies.

Listening to music as much as I do I will usually get stuck on certain songs or certain verses of songs and repeat them in my head and on my iPod. Here's the first one that I've been repeating: "They say that love is for the patient, Gotta plan for being restless for now." I think we, and especially me, get caught up in emotions and feelings. It's hard to step back and contemplate things when you are getting swept up in texts and chats and you can lose sight of what you really feel. However, I tend to do that and then I tend to go overboard with analyzing things. Blah. That's a ramble for another day.

"I wish that you would show me that you'll be right on my time" On my drive home tonight I popped in an old cd of O.A.R. that always used to get me through my drives from Emporia to home on those long nights. I listened to my usual songs first and then this one came on, and "Right On Time" is a song I always forget about, but it always reminds me that, no matter what, everything will always be right on time. You may not realize it now but in the end everything will happen when it should. So if you are waiting for that person to text you or waiting for a date or waiting to meet someone, just remember that it will all happen right on your time.
