52, almost 53
My grandparents have been married for almost 53 years. That is more than twice the amount of time I have been alive. I think about that and it makes me slow down and take a breath. I am alway in such a rush to get everything accomplished as fast as possible and squeeze the most of the moment. We live in a great paradox, I feel like I have so much time left in life, but I am not guranteed I have all the time in the world. I want to work on not rushing all the time, and "enjoy the moment" as I was told recently. I tend to look ahead for the next complication and anticipate every possibility. This stems from my reflex to control everything and box everything in so its safe. Im more comfortable now than ever before with letting go a bit and enjoying the moment. If I do have 53 years left, there are a lot of moments to enjoy.
