Thoughts from your host…

During the intro of this week’s episode, I talk about the way that time flies. Specifically, I mention that it’s been two whole years since my guest and I did a podcast together…but as I sit here and look at the calendar, I realize that time has flown in a whole other way.

You see, next week, it will mark seventeen years since I started this little space. Back then it was more about writing than recording, but still – I sat, I wrote, I published…no one read. (Some things never change)

But my thoughts were put out into the world…and nothing was the same.

I have met some of the most wonderful people since I first tapped “publish” – people who have shaped me in all sorts of ways and who I wouldn’t be the same without.

Some people I only know from a distance, others who I don’t know as well as I used to…but all have had an impact, and they all came into my life over this stretch of seventeen years that has passed in a blink.

Is that a good thing? Is that a bad thing? Hard to say, honestly – but I believe it’s worth noting. Time is a funny thing – we always feel like we have lots of it, or that not that much has passed.

We’re wrong, in both cases. I think I heard that somewhere once…”Ryan is Wrong”.

Thanks for spending some time with me…whether it was a little or a lot; just yesterday or seventeen years back.

I’ve cherished every scond.
