Time: fast, quick like cat
As people get older, you always hear them say: "time goes so fast!" or "where has time gone?"
I never really understood this phenomenon, until recently, which I guess, automatically makes me old.
Maybe it's all in our heads. Or maybe we work too hard and play too little. Maybe we're just tolerating life, which makes us skim through each day with a depleted sense of awareness. Either way, somewhere between the playground and cubicles, between seemingly endless summer vacations (remember when 3 months was like an eternity) and daily planners, we experience an abnormal sense of time acceleration, often losing track of our actual age..."how old am I this year? Let me subtract..."
This picture was taken almost one year ago. To me, it seems like yesterday. Can we slow time down? Is there a way to keep it from moving so fast?
I think so.
What happened to you the night before Christmas, as you laid in bed waiting for the brightness of the morning light like a green flag waving you towards the unwrapping of your presents?
You tossed and turned. You couldn't fall asleep. Your eagerness made each second seem like an eternity. Your anticipation of tomorrow made time slow to a slug's pace.
Try it. Maybe the tricks of our youth will combat the mentality of our aged minds. Anticipate tomorrow with all of its possibilites as you lie in bed tonight. At the very least, maybe it'll feel like you slept longer, and the time between hitting the snooze and the buzzing alarm will seem like an eternity...
