Isn’t it wonderful how the ages of babies are celebrated in smaller units of time? Every new milestone is significant and appreciated.
But as time passes, the measurements change, as if each unit hits a tipping point of practicality.
Life is first measured in hours.
Then days.
Then weeks.
Then months.
Until the default settles in years. And that’s where it stays.
It feels special to say that a baby is 3 days old.
Though it feels silly to say that an adult is 12,482 days old.
Is the 3rd day of your life more special than your 12,482nd day?
Measuring life in years is more practical. But doing so means you only have a few occasions to really appreciate your life.
Take this opportunity to measure your life in a different way, because every moment is uniquely special.
