where does the time go?

Nashville, TN: Yesterday, some of my friends (and former boss) flew from Seattle to Australia to start another leg of their tour. They will arrive on March 20. So what happened to March 19? Literally, where did the time go? Does that day simply not exist anymore and if so, is there anyway you can ever get it back? There are times that I wish I could erase a day and jump ahead to the next one, but I suppose if I had that choice, I may miss out on some of the unexpected moments of sweetness or baby steps in the lessons I am trying to learn... that would just so happen to occur on the day I wanted to skip over.

I suppose that's true of rushing through a day just to get through it... instead of simply taking a moment to just BE... in THIS moment. So, on behalf of my friends who will miss today, I will do my best to simply be.

And for the record, even if I were in Oz with them and missed the 19th all together, I would still be 33!
