Time is a curious thing. There are days that we wish would never end and then there are those days that we wish had never happened. When things are going well it sometimes feels as if time is sprinting. We wish it would slow down so that we could make the fun last forever. On gloomy days when we wish time would speed up, it drags slowly as if it is trying to torture us.

Remembering back to my childhood, summer was always so short, but it felt like Christmas took forever to arrive. Childhood time is very different from adult time. For example, we just came back from Christmas break this Monday, which just so happened to be my birthday. It is Friday now and it feels like my birthday was a month ago. This week has lasted an eternity. Why is this?

I am not sure that I will ever have the answer. There are people who have theories about time. I was not aware of this. Looking into this topic I landed in a whole new world. I was not aware that there are people who believe that there is only the present. There are those who feel that there are various levels of time that exist all at the same time. I certainly have learned some interesting ideas about time.

I guess that I will have to just be satisfied with the fact that time waits for no one and continues whether we are ready for it or not. Although this week has been an exceedingly long one, I will push through and try to enjoy my life as much as I can. As I see those who I love grow older and the realization that time is limited, I plan to live each day with the intention of making it count. We only get on chance after all.

Until next time,
