I think this 'slowing down' happens for everyone. It just happens at different times for different people. For me at 63 it hasn't happened yet, however I look forward to the time when I can just turn back the pages and reflect on a life full of defining moments and emotions, all of which seem to have blown by in a blur.
In our younger years, we're so desperate to become adults, to become grown-ups, that we race through the milestones. Onto the next thing, onto the next achievement, onto the next big party, holiday, wedding... It's a wonder to be in my thirties, delectably savouring each perfectly slow day and the tiny nuances that build a life.
Thank you for these kind words Michelle! I couldn’t agree more - it’s quite scary to look back and realise how quickly we wanted our life to move when we were younger, and how desperate we were to be older. To live life slowly now, as you say, is wonderful. It can truly allow us to recognise the small but remarkable details that surround us. 💜

That’s very true, it’s different for everyone. And what a privilege to be able to look back on a life full of so much!
This is all so true and so thoughtfully written.
