Some days TIME seems to stand still, or hardly moves at all. Some days TIME seems to fly by. I can manipulate time! To a degree! I can make it really speed up. There are a few things that make it go faster and faster! One is watching something very interesting on TV, like “America’s Funniest Home Videos.” Another thing is the “Free Cell” game I mentioned in an earlier Blog. That is a game that literally eats up the clock! Genealogy is a hobby I picked up a few years ago, and that has made time fly by. I remember, when I first started putting a family tree together, I would get so absorbed in running down a lead, on the Internet, I missed many meals. I would look at the clock and think that it was nearly noon and I should stop soon and grab a bite to eat. Then what seemed like “30 minutes” later, a glance at the clock told me that it was now time for supper!
Speaking of the Internet reminds me of another method of speeding up time. Face Book! Often I get so involved in looking at the pictures posted by family members, all over the country, and have no control on time….It just runs away from me!
I can make time slow down too. For instance, when I am supposed to be ready to go somewhere at, say 7:00, and I get ready early and then sit and wait for my ride to come pick me up……time then just crawls by! Also, and this one hurts……..when I happen to doze off in the late afternoon and then when bedtime comes, I can NOT sleep! I stare at the clock all night, and I keep thinking it has stopped as the minutes seem to just drag by so slowly!
Daylight Saving Time is here again. It does not mean a thing to me! My life does not change one iota. The only TIME CHANGES I regard, are my own!
