Perception of time

What a day! What a week! It's been busy!

Isn't it amazing how life changes so much as we get older? 

I never worried about time when I was little...or if I did, it usually revolved around questions like...

"How much time left before I can swim after lunch?"

"How much longer before Pink Panther starts on TV (Sunday nights)?"

"How much time left before I have to come inside from playing in the garden?"

"How much time do I have to read my book?"

Now it's all about making phone calls en route to the loo, in the loo, coming back from the loo. 

Or about how many appointments I can squeeze into one day, one week, so that I can get them all done. 

Or I need a weekend away to catch up on all my mails and my reading because there is no time in the week! 

I think it makes me long so much more for the December holidays when I can literally just switch off long enough to remember exactly who I am, and what I like and what I need. 

And lie still for long enough to close my eyes and enjoy the moment. 

Or sit still long enough to finish a book. 

In saying that though - I am also going to focus more on being in the moment...and start worrying less about what comes next...easier said than done...but worth the try! 

My quote for today: 

My thought for today: 

Lots of love to you all
