Time

Time.....Do you ever wonder where time goes?

One day can seem like an eternity and then the next day goes by so quickly you wonder what happened with the day.

But why? Why can two days be so different? You can do the same thing each day, but they can be so different when it comes to the time.  Why does time get away from us? Where does it go?

As a child you don't think about days coming and going. You're a kid! But, as an adult, you blink your eyes and your life is almost over. Your children are now grown, they have children of their own. And before you know it, their children are having children.

As I type, I reflect upon my own life. I'm 61 years and 30 days old. Over this past year I've thought about things such as this. What have I done in my lifetime. Not much. Did I do what I really wanted to do with it? Is it too late to start? At this point in time, I have no desire to take on a new job, nor accomplish higher education, nor start a business.

Oh don't get me wrong, I tell myself that I would like to take on that business project; because in my mind I'm young, I'm a go-getter, I'm ready to conquer the world. But in reality, nope....I'm older, I want to retire, I want to be able to sleep til 2 in the afternoon if I want...NO alarm clock to get me up!!! In fact, I yearn for that day.

I don't know if my parents ever thought about this subject or not. Maybe they had questions as I have had.

Sixty years ago, did they say they lived in a fast pace society and that it was becoming faster?
In sixty years, will my grandchildren say they live in a fast pace society, and as they age say it's getting faster?

I don't know, but I do know this.... The actual day for me to retire seems like eternity.
