Happy New Year! (already??)


I was inspired by Melli's blog entry about time. I'm really at a loss here. Has the feeling of time changed because I've gotten older or has it changed because the daily pace has gotten faster? I've always been a pretty speeded person with many pots on the stove, doing lots of things at one time and getting good results. Today, though, I can hardly keep up and I still have many projects going at one time! As Franca Rama wrote in her Women Monologues, "I could cook, feed the dog, take care of the husband, yell at the kids, paint the room and read a book, all at one time!" *S*
But a day doesn't feel as long as it once did and summers don't feel like they last forever anymore.
Perhaps our concept of time DOES change as we get older.
Who knows??
On the other hand, I don't remember reading about people dying from stress related illnesses 50-100 years ago.
So like the sign says, slow down, save a life; it could well be our own we save!
So I'm not going to try and keep pace anymore I'm going to find my own rhythm, march to my own beat, try to set goals that I can manage and stop to smell the roses. Well........... at least I'm going to try, that's a start!

Happy New Year (OH NO! has another year gone by already?? Where did it go?)
From me to all of you!

I love the lines on this very ancient, oak church door. The sign says, "close quietly".
The church is from 1200, which is pretty old in my book. I'm not sure how old
the door is, but it is old.
The fun thing about this week's theme is, that you can find lines in everything - even circles!
Have a happy weekend and happy holidays to all you Saturday photo hunters!

Photo Scavenger Hunt - The Theme is "RED"

The theme this week is red, a real Christmasy color -
but I found this picture I took last summer of a group of people who built a copy of an old viking boat. I thought the striped red sail was wonderful and very colorful. Looks like they were having fun too.
Happy Saturday and Happy holidays to you all!
