I don't mind being "first to post" -- someone had to do it and it may as well be me. Let's get into it -- anyone have anything interesting to say?

time flies like an arrow?    i think time flies like the wind.   sometimes quickly, other times lazily.  and most of the time you can't predict it's path.

Hi to all!

My two cents on time.

So the morel to the story so far is, whether time is wind or an arrow if your not careful it could knock you over, cause you pain or kill you. Bummer!

Can you put Time in a bottle?  I need to have a talk w/ father time. Does anyone know where he hangs out these days?

Here is how I remember it from a time gone by.

 

TIME
"Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but its sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but youre older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the english way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought Id something more to say"
 
Now it's bed time and I gotta go. Until next TIME.

Bravo!! Jonh! 

Bravisimo! That was really fun to read.

How cool would it be to be able to speak Italian? On demand.

Time, like an arrow, moves only in one direction. Time seems to be infinite in its speed, the part of life that seems increasingly unfair as we age.  But the gift of time is memories. It is only our memories that allow time to travel in the opposite direction. Those memories, regardless of meaning to others, enables us to put context to the present. The memories that give us wisdom, the wisdom that we pass to our children in hopes that they understand how precious every moment is. Our memories are our gift to our friends who are no longer with us; Lorretta, Rick, Jon, Jim, Mark. You, friends, are part of our lives forever. It is your lives that allow us to travel back in time with joy and fond memories. 
 
May each of us have a future that not only brings us great memories, but also to those who are or will be in our lives.

Well said Steve... but tell me, I don't think I have a record of the "Jim" that we lost?  Can you fill me in?  Thanks, Kathy

I think that it was Joe Gribbins, a few years back, that told me Jim Harbourt had passed away.  Not sure of the details.

That was nice, Steve!

I thought I was getting email notifications about postings...I guess I'm not.

Your post reminded me of a quote from Deepak Chopra I keep nearby.

"Imagine for a moment your own version of a perfect future. See yourself in that future with everything you could wish for at this very moment fulfilled. Now take the memory of that future and bring it here into the present. Let it influence how you will behave from this moment on."

 

Looking forward to the weekend!!

 

l8r!
