I invested some time this afternoon looking at some recent photos of my gorgeous nephew and niece (courtesy of Facebook).It confirmed without a doubt that they are indeed gorgeous (I am not biased).
The little rascals live 755km (470mi) away in rural South Australia, which means that I don't get to hang out with them as much as I'd like. Whenever I see photos of them, I'm always a little stunned - it's like time just did a massive leapfrog.
What have I missed in between?
It saddens me to think of it.
This leapfrog phenomena contrasts to how I experience life that immediately surrounds me. Days seem to merge into another and before I know it weeks, months, years and decades fleet past (a bit like little droplets of water filling up a bucket, sink, bath, swimming pool).
So today I started thinking about time.
Time would have to be the most precious resource (besides food, water and shelter). Each second is a premier, a debut never to be repeated. We cannot buy it or save it - but we sure do spend it. Do we spend time frivolously or invest it wisely - or perhaps a bit of both?
This is what I am pondering right now.
How do you spend your time? Do you consider it a wise investment?
Until tomorrow, may the tick-tock of the clock remind you of life's other precious things.

As the saying goes "time is money". When people break the law they "do time" When someone talks nonsense to you , you say "don't waste my time"!
ReplyDeleteWhen you are young, you think you are immortal and you have all the time in the world!!! But with a few years under your belt, you watch your parents grow old, and a few funerals later you realize that time is indeed a precious commodity.
