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!
