Seasons of Life

I've been reading about this "quarterlife crisis" idea a lot lately. I understand the sentiment of not having changed the world yet and done all of the incredible things you thought you were going to accomplish, and trying to figure out what to do about it and put actions behind your thoughts when you are so tired after work. It is frustrating and difficult. Then today I came across this paragraph which summed it up so well for me:
And perhaps that's the best way to describe these special moments in life. They are seasons. Just like the residents of Narnia learned, however, one magical season that is extended indefinitely is no kind of magic at all. It's like winter all the time without Christmas. To try and continue life in these "in between times" would ruin the unique joy that they bring. The sweetness of the season would quickly rot like a piece of fruit that's been in the back of the refrigerator drawer too long. - http://leewards.blogspot.com/

so here's to an "in between time"!
