Time - where does it go?

When I first started blogging I intended to write daily, or at least weekly. Looking at the dates of my posts, it is evident that my life is busier than I expected. Where does the time go? How do we find the time, make the time, for our families and the things that are important in our lives?

My senior clients tell me that their grown children do not have time for them. The sandwich generation struggles with balancing time between their aging parents, their growing children, and their own careers and relationships. Time is one thing we can't reproduce. Once it's gone, it's gone forever.

Too many regrets fall from the lips of people at the end of their lives: "I should have seen my parents more often." "I should have spent more time with my children growing up."

Someone told me recently: "Things are not important. People are."

If we keep that thought in the forefront of our minds, perhaps there will be fewer regrets at the end of life.
