Gee, It's Already....

...January 24th!  Doesn't it seem like it was just New Year's....1984?  I write a lot about my fascination with how time goes so fast or so slow, depending on your mood, where you are in life, what's happening in your soul, your mind, with your family, friends, work, the country, the world, and on and on.  My partner always smiles when I say to him (which is actually pretty frequently, come to think about it!), "Oh, my gosh, it's Wednesday already?!"  He's charmed (I hope) and really gets a kick out of my amazement at how quickly time is going for both of us.  And thank goodness!  Because I know at least for me, when I'm unhappy, sick, sad, bereft, angry, at sea, frustrated, hurt, afraid, time slows down.  Isn't that ironic?  You want time to be slow when you're happy, not all of those other things I listed in the slow column.  And yet what is it that makes it just the opposite?  Perception?  Because time doesn't change.  We do.  Is it possible to change the perception on unhappy = s-l-o-w?  Or maybe I don't change my perception.  I change the situation.  Hmmmm....I like that!  And honestly, it's what I try to do, but sometimes I guess I need to write it down.  So..."Gee, it's already January 24th!"  A very happy day here in the cottage - yay!

I hope time is whizzing by for you in only the best of ways.
