As I move on in my 60s I sense that life is starting to speed up, almost to the point of "runaway" out of control. I find it more and more difficult to concentrate on what is really important and not allow the speed and stress of the everyday mundane rob me of contentment. I feel like there are important things for me to accomplish yet, but I can't seem to slow down enough to concentrate on a plan to accomplish them.

Does anyone else feel the same way, and if so, how have you resolved this sensation that you are rushing to the grave?

"All that the South has ever desired was that the Union, as established by our forefathers, should be preserved, and that the government, as originally organized, should be administered in purity and truth." – Robert E. Lee
