SchirAnother month gone, another 30 days of doodling Beni from memory. It's weird to think the year's already half over now. The time just slips away and the world moves on, whether you notice or not. It's hard trying to maintain a moving reference and keep track of how much time's passed when every day feels the same. I knew time would slip away like this -- it always does, which is part of why I put this into my schedule. If I just get something done every day there will be something to show for it. Most days turn out unremarkably, but I think more of them are turning out better on average. There were a couple of deaths in the family this month -- my grandma and her brother, barely three weeks apart. Maybe that's why I'm feeling so unusually reflective here. When I talk to my elderly relatives I always get the feeling they don't see themselves any differently than they did when they were my age, and that time just slipped by them and then they were old, age hitting them all at once. There's no way to stop it, but maybe if I work harder I'll have more to show for it at the end.
