Time .... How Do You Use It?
I’ve recently had a few situations occur that have really made me pause to think about time. Have you ever really thought about time? I was signing off an e-mail the other day to someone in another part of the country after writing about the “early winter” we seem to be having this last day of summer. I closed the e-mail by saying, “I hope your summer lingers.” I was on a shoot with a client recently, a younger man, he was telling me of the heart trouble he experiences. He has a built in defibrillator to instantly start his heart if it should stop. He talked about this casually, yet the implications struck me with astonishment. I have found myself recently saying “as I get older......” in normal conversation, I’m not sure if I should be startled or proud of this new habit.

Time: It stands still, it goes fast, takes forever and never ends, it blurs it freezes, some have a lot, some have little, we lose track of it or can never find it and then waste it. We are asked if we have it or can we give it. We manage it we prioritize it. It can be planned but not redone yet renews each day. Tick Tock tick tock. I hope you are enjoying the change of seasons and thanks for reading.
