What is time?

December 14, 2011

One of this years Christmas gifts I purchased for my twin daughters  made be begin thinking a great deal about time. Time is a funny thing. It's fleating, it's great, it's lost, it's precious, it's wasted, it's cherished, it's coveted and it's shared. We find ourselves impacted by time every day. We wake 'up' at a certain time; we know exactly how much time we 'have' when scheduling our day; we construct our routines on a regular basis all based on the 'idea' of time.
But what is time really? When we promise something forever, what does that mean?
Time makes us happy, time can make us feel sad, or quilty (wasting it). We may long for old times; hope for happier times.
As we finished yet another year (another measure of time) we find ourselves coming into 2012 with great anticipation. As our calendars mark the new year and it's arrival, I wonder if we consider what really is reflected in the number 2012. For me, it really is just another number, and I personally have no fixed ideas, notions or beliefs about what may or may not transpire in this upcoming year.
I do know that I am grateful for the arrival of each sunrise, and that I find peace with the beautiful skies so often offered here as the day comes to an end.
I know that what we call 'time' is a precious thing, and I do what I can to cherish all that I do at any given 'time'.
As this year closes, think about what time means to you. Most of all, as you share 'time' with loved ones and friends during these upcoming days remember that the love you give and receive is timeless.
Happiest of holidays to you.
