When I was in Junior High, my F.A.C.S teacher had a sign hanging in her classroom which you could only see when the door was closed. The sign said: "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift that's why it's called the present."
Each person on planet Earth has been given the same 168 hours to survive on each week. I'm amazed at how much some people can pack into those hours! I will tell you that as of right now, I am not a wise user of time. In the majority of cases, I'm not a user of time at all!
People my age have been married for years (this is a whole different post subject)! They are buying houses, working full-time jobs and being successful, and I'm just over here like, "Hmmm, should I have toast with jam, or toast with cinnamon?"
Flattering, I know...
So, yes, 168 hours have ticked right on by, and I barely even noticed! I did spend 3 hours Monday - Friday deciding what kind of toast I should eat. I did spend four and a half hours driving to and from a job where I only worked for 21 hours, I did have plenty of time on Sunday to get to the Nursing Home where I would lead the small congregation as they sang their Sunday hymns, but I did procrastinate long enough that I had to break the law and speed to get there and walked in with only 5 minutes to spare!
Time is constantly moving forward and, like clockwork, I am standing still! I can see that I have changes to make, luckily I have the gift of today to get started on that, but I'll probably wait until tomorrow because I'm doing this today.

Time passes so fast. Today is my son's 36th birthday and in my mind I am still about 36 so that doesn't make a lot of sense. You have to try to enjoy every moment if you are deciding on cinnamon or jam make it a good decision and then really enjoy the choice. Life passes fast and to paraphrase President Hinckley "...is to be enjoyed not just endured".
ReplyDeleteJo, thank you! I totally agree with you! Thankfully, I am happy, just looking for ways to be more productive because time moves fast! It's crazy! Some days seem like they take forever to end, but then before you know it May is here! How it can move slow and fast at the same time is a mystery. :)
