Time flies when you are having fun or experiencing life in a unique or special way. There are good times, bad times, fun times, sad times. We make time or waste time, and we lose time or try and make up time.
I was on a flight one day, and the pilot apologized for being delayed on the runway. “Not to worry, he said, we will land on time because of the tail winds and the clear skies.” And true to form, we made up the lost time.
We use time as a barometer of life. His existence is only a matter of time… In a matter of time, she will forget, and it will be better. Time heals all… time destroys all; in time, it will happen. Time will make all the difference, or it will make no difference.
There are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day, and 168 hours in a week, 52 weeks in a year, etc. And, strangely enough, we all have the same 60 seconds, 60 minutes, 24 hours,168 hours, and 52 weeks – we just spend them in different ways.
Sometimes we run out of time, build extra time in, find time or don’t have enough time to complete the task. We control our time and at times, it controls us. Time out, time in, down time. It is time, it isn’t time! What time is it?
What we do with time depends on us totally. We are only allotted a certain number of days and weeks or years on this earth when we are placed here, and what we do with that allotted time is up to us. There will be, an appointed time for us to vacate the premises, and that will be time up.
What are you going to do with your moments of time?
Some of you are deciding right now, for some, it takes time to decide, just don’t forget time. It can be your friend or your foe; it is up to you!
For now, my time is done. Have a great week, and if you have time, come see us at the Council on Aging.
