Out Of Time Not Out Of Ideas
Twenty Four Hours In Every Day
Where does the time go?
We have all heard time fly's when you are having fun
It seems to go by quicker
When we find joy
It drags when you are bored or at work
Watching the clock
Now, what can we do about it?
We can do nothing and live every day like we are on a hampster wheel
Spinning around faster and faster
Maybe a stray cat on a hot day chasing his tail
That way we are never going to catch up
Both ways we will never get ahead
We can take a step back
Let's look at the clock in a different way
Instead of being the enemy
Let's pretend it is our friend
Time is given to us every day
There is one catch
When you have a good time
You use up twice as much time
Then when you are struggling or having a difficult time
Your time goes twice as slow
So you can find a way to correct your life
Make all the necessary changes to live a happy life
The greatest part of all
Every day we are given twenty-four more new hours
Then there is always an exception to the rule
One day there is no more time to be given
That is the end of this life
Then we move on to a whole new beginning
With different rules and more joy than ever before
Think of it as going from grade school to high school
You are sad you are going to miss so many of your old friends
All the good times will be just memories
Then you meet new friends
You make new special times and have even more fun
Growing up comes in so many different stages of our life
We have to live through it
Then we may begin to understand it
Today is Father's Day
Wishing all the dads everywhere a wonderful afternoon
It is a big step being a dad
It comes with an endless amount of responsibility
Constant love is a good foundation
Then over the years, we learn as we go
This is not what I can say from experience
Only from what my father has shown me growing up
I am a proud Godfather and a father our lovely cat Charlotte
Other than that I am only guessing and putting the pieces together
For all those dads who have to still work on Father's Day
I can relate and understand it would be better spent with the family
I think if we appreciate all the time we have
Then no matter where we go and what we do
If it's work or with family
We do it the best we can
So if your out watering the flowers and the tomato plants
Before the sun comes up
Relaxing at home watching t.v.
Washing up the dirty dishes before the next round
Writing a hub about living life in the moment
It all ties together
Once and a while things will go wrong
If it's dropping food on the floor
You just pulled out of the refrigerator
Then you silently curse those nasty words
If you get a kink in the hose
When the water stops
Nobody else will do it
Then you have to go and fix it
Even on Father's Day
How lucky are we
To be picked for all the little things
That later end up to be the big things

Chatra Ram I have received so many wonderful blessings from you on my poems. You are such a great encouragement when writing is tough. Life speeds along like a freight train. Hold on to your hat. It is easy to sit and relax. It is harder to write and express our deepest thoughts. If we combine both we have a splendid combination. One that can work and will help us for years to come. Thank you so much for reading and sharing. Have a lovely night.

Anupam Mitu The fun has only begun. As we spend more time doing the things we love. The clock may keep ticking away but when we are exhausted at the end of the day we know we have made a difference. Thank you so much for reading and sharing. Happy writing and many more thoughts to come. Have a beautiful night.

Gypsy Rose Lee Some days are just living and nothing jumps out and screams Exceptional!!!! When these days are finished they blend to make something very special. Not a perfect world but one we know very well. When I listen to your thoughts about writing about your dad and WW11 stories I think how beautiful that would be. You have so much talent that I honestly believe whatever you put your mind to will be beautiful. Keep writing and it will all make sense one day. Even your struggles make your life more interesting and appealing. I remember hearing the saying... Do what you love and you will never work a day in your life. instead of thinking about what we are missing think of what we are doing. Writing with love and passion. Life will get better. Keep rising to all new challenges. Have a relaxing night. I hear the crickets right outside my door. So peaceful and dark. A little before ten and I don't want to stop.

As usual, looking for more writing jobs. It leaves me with questions Where did ll the good times go? Are we having fun yet? Is there something I am missing? I hope you have a great weekend.

Yes dear, though the time is constant we have a feeling that it passed soon when we enjoy the moment and becomes tough to spend when we hate that moment.
That's why we should love each and every moment
