Have you ever noticed just how fast time seems to fly when you’re busy?
I woke up this morning thinking I had time to write my next lesson in the sizzle workshop and realized it was already Wednesday. I had been so busy writing that I had lost all track of the days.
Now, I knew what time of day it was and I know I worked yesterday, so it had to be a Tuesday or a Thursday. Those are the only days I work at anything other than writing, so it had to be one of those…right? LOL!
Now, I’m going to write something here that I have found to be true and I’m wondering if anybody else has noticed the same. When I was young, I just couldn’t wait for time to pass. I wanted to get older, I wanted to be able to make my own decisions and I wanted to know what those older people seemed to know. Time just moved so slowly and it seemed as if I would never get there.
As I’ve grown older, all I want to happen is for time to slow down. I want time to smell the roses, take the trip of a lifetime, and write a book in a week! And it seems to be speeding up the older I get which to me seems very, very odd.
I mean, I schedule my time to the minute some days. Others I couldn’t even tell you what day it is or what time of day. I can tell you I’ve had my head in one of my worlds and I have no contact with my real one. So I know that on days I’m writing, I lose track of it all and sometimes have to ask more than once if I have the right day or time.
My father once told me that when he reached 65 that things just started to blur together. He remembers the things from when he was younger better than what had happened a week ago. Birthdays were just another day and holidays, well, those just didn’t seem to matter much anymore. He’s 75 this year and told me if I wanted time to slow down, I needed to enjoy it more.
And here I thought I was having the time of my life! LOL! Yes, I am enjoying my writing career and the other things in my life like my children and husband. I’m not necessarily enjoying getting older but nothing I can do to stop that one unless I build a time machine. Mmm…maybe a future project…LOL!
Still, I wonder how each of you feel about time and how it affects your life.
Till next week…
