Savor every minute

We're doing a lot of complicated things in the world these

days and we're doing them too fast.

Something's got to be done about the passage of time.

It's got to be slowed down.

The days, the weeks, the months, and the years

go by too fast. Our lives go by too fast.

We're always hurrying time along by looking forward

to things tomorrow instead of enjoying today.

Last weekend I heard a television weatherman say that

summer was right around the corner. Well,

summer is not around the corner. Summer starts

on June 21. The corner is still 71 days away.

I mean, what's the rush?

Planning is bad for the passage of time. Planning

anything a month in advance makes that month

pass quicker.

In March I was looking forward to the beginning

of April because I like April, but I was so busy looking

forward to April that I forgot to enjoy March which

isn't bad, but first thing I knew, March had passed

and I hardly noticed it.

The days that drag are the days when we have nothing

coming up in the future. We could use some of those

days because they're what we need more of to make

time last longer-days that drag.

So, slow down, don't plan, savor every minute.
