Time

It's it funny how sometimes, the minutes take forever to pass and other times, the hours fly by.

We know why that is ~ When your busy or enjoying yourself, your not watching the time.

~ When your waiting and thinking about being somewhere else, or doing something your not fond of doing, your watching the time.

I remember when I first got pregnant with my oldest daughter we tried to imagine what it would be like 18 years later. ... Now here it is 40 years later.

I loved my kids and my happiest times were when it was just us doing something. Didn't really matter what it was. Whether it was a drive to someplace we never been or watching a movie together. I miss the togetherness. We used to be really close, and Time flew ~

Now it seems like forever between visits. Grand kids grow so much! from one visit to the next. Feel like I'm missing out sometimes. Then I remember the hard parts of parenthood. Grama, is a nice place to be.

Things change over time.


Laws that were not even in existence then, are strongly enforced now.

Seat belts. 


How many remember growing up in the back seat of the car, facing the rear and playing on the back dash while dad was driving. The seat belts? I don't believe were visible. If they were even in the backseat of the car.

Smoking in public.


You used to see people smoking cigarettes everywhere. In the grocery store no less. Now, you need to be 25 feet away from the entrance of the building.

Sometimes, we run out of time...


I've noticed I missed a few days blogging .. My time has gotten away on me. My left arm and side haven't been doing as well as could be, so I've spent a lot of time, resting or at least trying to. It's been just over 4 weeks with 6 more to go on 'restrictions'. My Helpers kind of disappeared after Christmas for the most part, so I've been doing things I probably shouldn't be, a lot more than I should be.

Tonight was a tough one. My horse's feet are a bit challenging in wet weather, they have to be cleaned daily. The goats feet haven't been trimmed in I can't remember {Where does the time go?} So I spent TIME in the barn, catching up on taking care of things, and tonight while brushing Star's tail, I noticed shedding has begun. 

That means....

SPRINGTIME is coming soon!

I can't wait for the weather to warm up and the days to get brighter and last longer. It's about time I close for now, things to do before the nights over. 

Blessed by God
