Time ... is on our side My mother always used to say that time flies when you get older. Time is not only flying, it's breaking the sound barrier these days. There are some folks who say that time is actually getting faster because the universe is condensing, but lately some scientists believe that the universe is still expanding, so what is the reality of time? I think the reality is that there is no reality when it comes to time, because time is a perspective that each of us experiences. This explains why attending a Scottish bagpipe ceremony for me can make an hour feel like a day, (my apologies to all bagpipe loving people of the world-maybe you feel the same way about rap!) and why my husband wishes it could be another hour longer. I do not believe we are in a race against time or are running out of time. I believe that we have allowed ourselves to get caught up in the frenzy of a modern world, where success means a four-bedroom, two-car garage home and children end up with three page resumes by the time they apply to college. All of this is nice, but not necessarily needed to have an enriched life. Many of us do not know how to be still anymore. This is the only way we find our true selves that leads to true happiness. Time management is about setting priorities in life. The challenge is to put those things that tend to hang out on the bottom of our list back up top, like writing poetry, reading, bubble baths, date night out with our partner, quality time with our children, an increasingly important yearly physical or mammogram or colonoscopy, or a telephone call (not email) to someone we've lost touch with. The SIMPLE TRUTH is that time is on our side, if we want to live a rich life that means more than keeping up with everyone else. If you have a minute, let us know how you are making the most of your time.
