You know the years are going by really quick now?

Enjoy foods you like. Soon some could be off your diet. Grapefruit interacts negatively with many drugs, not to mention sugar problems or a slowing metabolism.

Oh yeah: climb those ladders now. Before long they might become more scary.

I was on my knees praying when my wife said, "What are you doing?" "praying for guidance," I replied. "Just pray for stiffness," she said, "and I'll do the guiding."

My BFF and I talk about this all the time. It is just going by so fast..not just the years but the days and even hours. I'll be doing something, look up and can't believe what time it is. They say time goes by more quickly as we age.

Time does seem to speed up with each passing. I let my young dog sleep on my bed with me once a week and my wife is always saying again - seems like just a day or two ago. Makes me think of the old b&w movies which show calendar pages flipping ever faster to show the passage of time.

The other six days a week she alternates between her crate and a nearby dog bed in the same hallway. Now that I have a dog that could outlive me I want to make sure she is as easy to rehome as possible.

I know what you mean Diva, I've learned that life is like a roll of toilet tissue. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.

It also goes by faster when we drop off for a nap without realizing it.

I have for sure noticed time going faster.

too late....

I wonder if our mental clocks run on a different scale. One that measures time as fractions of our lives-to-date.

I've wondered about that too. It certainly must play some role in our perspective.

Scientific American: Is Time an Illusion?

Time speeds up when I'm enjoying myself, but slows down when I wait for the water to boil. Yet my measurement of time differs from that of others, who are possibly even in the same room.

I still work and every Monday I say to my workmates, It will be Friday before we know it.
Then suddenly it is Friday.

I remember as a teenager, summer vacation seemed like an eternity. Walking that fine line between having big fun and screwing up the rest of your life... You can do both at the same time, you know. I was fortunate.

Yes, in fact, there are a few things that I want to do that involve my knees. I'd better hop to it while they're still in working order.

As far as time moving faster, when I got up yesterday morning and looked in the mirror, I saw a smokin' hot nineteen-year-old staring back at me.

This morning when I got up and looked in the mirror, I gasped , did a double take, and cried out loud
“Holy sh!t, WTF, this ain't right!” So, yeah, time is moving along at an alarming rate.

We shared Christmas with my SIL and BIL and her grown kids. I brought some old pics from years ago when the kids were young. They are now 24, 23, 21 and 16. I shared a pic of my hubby with our nephew when he was just a kid. His brother looked at the pic and said "you look so young in that picture. What happened?" My SIL looked at a pic of me and said "look at all the hair you had?" Yes, the years do pass quickly!

Male or female, the older we get, the harder we try to look and feel young. I'm 30 years old mentally going on 67. Somedays, I feel good, others, not so much. Our lives are dictated by our personal convictions, our expectations, the people we permit in our lives and our own belief in ourselves. LIVE & LOVE YOURSELF !!
