Today is my sister Becca's birthday. She is 17 - how did that happen? We are celebrating with only the best - cheesecake and raspberries!
Birthdays make me reminisce. I remember turning 17... and then time flew and suddenly I'm 21, but I still feel like I could be 17 at times. Especially in the summertime, it's funny to realize I'm getting older. I'm back working the same job with a lot of the same people, and even teaching the same kids! It's like a little dreamworld where hardly anything changes. But then I remember, oh yeah, I am older. I did go away to college, I was a PA, I have completed 3/4 of getting my degree. I have changed. And my little sister is now 17 (and she finally got her permit yesterday while she was still a 16-year-old). :)
And from what I hear, life only gets faster. Birthdays are a good reminder to make the most of the time we have because before you know it, your 17th birthday is just a distant memory - but hopefully just one of many great memories in a fulfilled life.
