Hello members and friends, I am sitting here thinking, Oh My God, where did the first part of January go?
It must have flown right by me while I was probably doing something insignificant, something that could
have waited or didn't need to be done any way, like housework, only kidding. When you get to my
age (39) lol, you don't want time flying by you, you want it to almost stop. I tried everything, even tried
digging my heels in the sand to stop it from ticking away, but it didn't work. Everyone I knew was
talking about how their lives seemed to be speeding by them.
Depending on your age, your perspective on this may be very different from mine.
If your young and you want to be older, you can't wait for time to speed up. Your waiting to get your
license, you become drinking age, all cool things you want, when you're young., but then time creeps up
on you also, suddenly you're an adult , with adult responsibilities. Now you're thinking well maybe it
can slow down just a bit, you're not in that big of a hurry to turn thirty, forty or fifty.. So that brings me
back to , what can I do to slow down time? I decided to ask someone I knew how he felt we could
slow down our world just a bit. He told me that we can't slow down THE world , but we could slow down
OUR world. At first I just thought about it for a few minutes, and then it hit me, he is absolutely right.
I can't stop time from going along its merry way, but if I choose to use my time more wisely, my life will
at least seem to slow down. I have to learn what is important in my life, what are my goals, what are my
desires and what is my path that I need to be following. If I concentrate on these major things and work
on them and put all the other little things in perspective, I will be able to use the time that I have been
given more wisely. I have found that putting off the little things that really don't matter can further my
day. If I take time to smell the roses that we all hear about, and by looking all around me and enjoying all
the gifts that God has given us within our universe, our lives will becomes richer and richer and seem
longer and longer.
What I am trying to say, members and friends, is just enjoy this wonderful life we have, take it a one day
at a time. Do what needs to be done and try to have fun doing it, but always, always save time to embrace
every opportunity that comes your way. I'm not saying everyday will be easy, but if we all live our lives
the right way, OUR world will be a better place, and our Lives will feel Richer, Fuller and Longer. God
Bless You All.
