Time is what we want most, but what we use worst.” – William Penn

There seems to never be enough time in the day when you have things to do. We spend our days rushing to do, trying to make the most of it when we are young. Aging makes time seemingly go by faster, and the realization of its limits and our need for it become more clear.

Do you need time, do I need time? Yes, it is needed to do the things I must, but it is wanted more so than needed at this stage of life.

I want time to enjoy the morning, to gaze at sunrise and feel the stir of life at the beginning of the day. I need time to find the motivation to walk into the day ahead. I can sit and daydream, suddenly realizing that time is going by fast, or gone… the rushing forward to try to catch up seems endless at times.

I feel I need time to slow down as I watch my grandkids grow older, need time to find the light, need time to decide, need time to be more organized, and to be with those I love.

I know, the time I have is limited, it is finite, but time is often seen as infinite in its boundaries… I suppose that is why we always feel we need more of it… why it is what we use worst, we can not “see” it but in retrospect. Do I need time, yes, but mostly I need to learn to enjoy it, spend it, knowing it is precious and once spent is gone. Learning to live in the present and not waste time, it is the ultimate thing in life…
