Time or Lack Thereof.....

Isn't is a maddening thing when you finally decide to do something because you feel you have the time and then sure enough, as soon as you begin, you don't know where that little bit of time went.  Probably, to the same place where all those other specs of time have gone over the years.  Take this blog, for instance.  I love to write and look forward to any comments or response I might get to it and so I began with great joy the journey of entering cyberspace to talk away.  Suddenly, there were extra chores at home, extra time needed at work, shopping to do for an elderly father, playtimes with grandbabies (not complaining because this is one of my favorite pasttimes), and on and on.  But today I realized that it is me, moi, who is the common denominator in all of these issues and that I have control over each of them.  So, I have taken back control hence, my post today.  This beautiful time of year really changes moods and trains of thought.  The added daylight really turns us into different characters and somehow makes things that were so overwhelming during those short, dreary winter days turn into adventures that we can't wait to engage in.  So what if it will take to midnight, so what if dinner doesn't happen until 9 pm, so what if I woke up at 6 am and only went to sleep at 3.  Do you feel the same way about this phenomenon?  Is it a phenomenon.....or IJTWLI ??

One Less on the Bucket List

Had a wonderful time up at Niagara Falls the past few days.  It was a long drive but it's true that as you get older the miles pass quickly and you don't seem to mind as much.  Really had a nice amount of time to just walk for miles and explore everything in that area.  Aside from the wind being 83 mph one day, the weather cooperated and made for a fun time.  So, now that this is done, it's on to the next on "the List".  Do you have a Bucket List?  I think it is a great idea for everyone.  Gets you focusing on doing rather than dreaming.  Don't get me wrong, dreaming is great but it doesn't beat the doing.  It makes you realize that you won't be here forever and this life is not going to come your way again.  So get out and LIVE everybody and don't be a spectator in your own life.  Why do you suppose it takes many of us so many years to realize this?  Besides the younger years also being the most jammed packed years of your life, I think maybe.......IJTWLI.
