Time

Where does the time go? I sometimes feel like I'm still the new-girl of the pharmacy at work, but I am in-fact quickly becoming a seasoned veteran! I so vividly remember the nights in my very first house spent so lonely and quiet; I dreamed of the life I'm living now. I remember how the evenings and nights crept by ever-so-slowly. Fast forward 5 1/2 years and the time is now flying by! I sometimes wonder how this happens. Why is it that the moments and experiences you do not enjoy seem to drag on and on, but, the moments that you want to savor and remember seem to happen so very fast?

I think I know why.

In those sad and dark and lonely moments, nothing occupies your mind. You sit and wait. You watch the clock. You watch the second hand slowly tick by. On the contrary, in the fun and light and happy moments, you are enjoying life and you do not have to time to sit back and watch the second hand on the clock. You are creating happy memories and watching the clock is the last thing you want to do for fear that you will miss something.

So, as much as I want time to slow down now, I'm going to live in the moment and create the memories.
