Time Marches On
Loading ...It’s Friday. It was just Monday. It’s March. It was just New Year’s Eve. It’s 2010. It was just the Millennium.
I work out everyday and get to the fitness club at the same time each morning. Typically Raymond will be there at the same time too. Raymond is 20 years older than me and has the same routine.
I saw Raymond yesterday as I was leaving and I said the typical “good-bye, see you in the morning.” This morning Raymond was getting ready to go swimming and I stated to him, “can you believe it’s already today? It was just yesterday!”
Raymond replied to me with a smile on his face, “Are you kidding me? If you think time is going by fast now, just wait until you get to my age.” I replied back that there is no way time can go faster than it is now. Raymond simply shrugged with a “it does.”
Raymond was my age so he would know. What he said is scary. And there is nothing we can do about it. Or can we? Can Steve Jobs come up with the next big thing in technology: slow perception of time? It’s something to think about.
Happy Friday!
P.S. Speaking of time zipping by, I will be traveling all next week and I don’t blog when I travel. But then again, it be a few zips and zaps before I’m back to this.

Jeff (my husband) and I were talking about this very subject this morning as we went through our normal morning routine. It seemed like just yesterday I was working on my weekly task calendar preparing for my busy week. I already have a jump on next weeks calendar and it will be just as jam packed. But that’s a good thing! I’m sellin’ stuff! lol
DA – what’s your secret for turning back time? lol I’m sure it’s all in one’s attitude!

I’ll never forget the day I realized that time was going by too fast. And this was years ago…I was listening to the “Oldies” station in the car, you know the one, all the 50’s and 60’s music. But then it happened…They played Led Zepplin “Stairway to Heaven”! I was crushed. I immediately started driving 40 MPH in the fast lane with my left blinker on.

Seriously, Bob, I’m sure if you’re referring to 104.3, but I noticed a change in their radio format. They are playing 70’s and 80’s music now. When the heck did THAT become oldies?

*I’m not sure

Actually it was KRTH ( K-EARTH)..The oldies station in Los Angeles. I have a pretty good radio but I dont think I can pick up 104.3 in Detroit from Southern California:)

True enough……Just this past weekend, I feel as if I lost an hour.

We had a girl babysit for us about 9 years ago and we asked her what kind of music she listened to, she said…”I like some oldies” and we asked her what she considered oldies seeing she was 15 in 2000, and she said, “ya know Pearl Jam and mostly 90’s music.” OUCH, I was thinking when did this become oldies?

I find that the best way to slow time down is to get a lot done. If I fill my days with things that move me towards my goals and achieve smaller goals along the way then I feel like I actually have had much more time. It is about being deliberate, not just letting things get achieved by luck. For example, if I spend an hour exercising or practising my music or studying, I feel like I have had more time than if I spent that hour in front of the TV.
