Where does the Time Go?????

Why does it seem like life is going by in a rush? Twenty-four hours seems like a blink. The day hardly begins and it's over. Whoa!!!! Back up a bit!!

The technology these days is part of the problem. Everyone trying to multi-task every single thing they do (since there is no such thing, a word created to give an excuse for not being able to focus attention on one task at a time) and having one's nose down, staring at a cell phone screen or a computer screen while the mostly beautiful world goes by unnoticed.

I try to take the necessary breaks during the day to be quiet, to be still especially when the children will allow it, to calm my being so I'm not in constant reaction mode. There are days where my ego is stuck there which can be very depleting.

Staying focused is a positive thing. Staying focused on the many things besides the children, gives me happiness, a jolt of rejuvenation everytime I experience them, to sneak a few moments of time so I can enjoy these things everyday. I can tell when I skip these moments, the crankiness sets in. I hate when I get cranky. So I do my best to avoid those moments, a neverending process.

Make time for yourself.
That's what I keep reminding myself.
