Could It Be 50 Years?

I was 14, very naïve, sitting in freshman choir class when the call came over the speaker that President Kennedy had been shot. I'm sure each of you remembers the day, the week after, how the idea of living forever was shattered. I think the thing I took away at the time was the grace of the first lady, Jackie Kennedy. I could not imagine how she went on with such dignity and calm...it made it's mark on me.
Today I cannot believe it's been fifty years...it makes me realize once again about the frailty of life...how it's rushing by. It makes me want to slow down to savor it, but speed up to get more accomplished. You never know when the sunset of your life is near...
