We all have certain days in our lives, specific dates, where several different things happen at once -- some personal, some not -- that puts that day into sharp relief in our memories.
For me, that's January 31st, 2013.
On that day, my wife and I closed on the house that we now live in.
On that day, our favorite TV show and one of the best NYC shows of recent years, 30 Rock, aired its final episode.
On that day (okay, in the middle of that night), Ed Koch, the NYC mayor of my childhood, passed away.
None of these things have anything to do with each other except that they were endings that happened at the same time as a big new beginning (for us). Doors closing, door opening, you get the idea. Stages of life.
It's amazing to think that was five years -- half a decade -- ago. Even weirder? This blog already existed for almost six years by that time.
Time flies even when it drags. Things change. Always change. Endings and beginnings intertwine. The world never ends even as some things in it do.
Don't get complacent. Enjoy the time we have and enjoy what you do. It's later, and earlier, than you think.
