Time passing way too fast

Does anyone else feel like time is passing way too fast as we get older?
It used to be bad enough, but now it's going faster than the speed of light.

I believe you’re in good company, most of us can relate. Like others have mentioned, as we age many of us have time to appreciate aspects to life not before enjoyed. The beauty of nature on our walks, flowers starting to bloom and come up through the snow, the laughter of children. Like you, my days are racing past me. I no longer have the career that was filled with purpose, but my days are still rich. I take time to engage with people standing in line at the grocery store, enjoy watching the horses in the field as I’m on my walks, seeing a rainbow as I’m driving down the road and actually pull over to Marvel at its beauty. It may seem silly, I guess, but the simple moments bring me so much joy . Those of us who are lucky enough to retire can genuinely enjoy our days because we are not rushing to keep up with the pace of daily life.
