Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you. ~ Carl Sandburg
Time moves quickly... It’s been 111 days since I started writing this blog. When I started it seemed that the end was so far away. I gave myself 134 days to write it all down. Looking back, I see how the days have flown by too quickly. All in all I’ve learned a lot about myself, where I was, where I am and where I’m going. Maybe you whoever you are have learned more about me than you ever wanted to know... I’ve been acknowledging being a grown up, which at any age is a shock. I don’t mean just turning 50, I mean being accountable for yourself and your happiness. The things I’ve allow to happen or the unkind things I’ve done to myself have come to light. Its amazing how things just creep up on you. Any action can become a habit without us knowing it. One day turns into the next then the next and before you know it seven years have passed in the blink of an eye. I realize, time has no respect for us... I recently happened upon a Salvator Dali exhibit , and was thrilled. It had some of my favorite pieces of art represented in bronze. I have always loved the “melting clocks”. I was reading the description of one of the pieces and it almost brought me to tears. It was describing the piece as a clock that had hands, numbers but none of the mechanisms that we use to set or wind clocks. Instead, it had what could be called a crown at the top. This piece represents the fact that we falsely think we can control time but time controls us and is actually king. That hit me like a ton of bricks. It made me think again how important it is to cherish every moment. To work towards doing what makes me happy. I think it’s important to spend as much time cherishing myself as I do others. I will spend every precious minute, ever conscious to spend time wisely. I bow to “King Time.”..and will not squander a second. Am I alone here? Let’s live EVERY minute to the best of our abilities. I'm trying.
