Time

“How did it get so late so soon? Its night before its afternoon. December is here before its June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon?”

I took these photos today because of something that was on my mind. Gathered up my props, and headed off to one of my favorite places,

climbed through the back door and and spent an hour or so shooting. I headed home, thinking about the reasons that I wanted these

photos, and then I realized that I was exhausted. I stayed up too late last night because I can’t sleep after a closing shift, then got up too

early to crawl back into work to finish what I wasn’t able to finish last night, even though it’s my day off, because I didn’t want to leave it for the next person coming in because work has been really tough lately, and no one needs any extra thrown on their plate. So, I ended up taking a long nap

(way too long) and when I woke up, I really couldn’t remember my reasoning behind these photos. And there was a thought process at one point. Apparently, I dumped my memory banks

during my nap. (This is not a good thing, is it?!)

 

Anyway.... this is what I know about time:

1. It passes too quickly

2. There is never enough

3. You don’t get it back

4. Mom always said “Don’t wish your life away.”

5. I get it now, Mom ... It’s true, time is the most valuable thing you have to give,

or can receive. Even when you have nothing left to give, you still have your time to share and it doesn’t cost a dime. What can

be better than someone that is willing to give up their precious time to spend with you? Mom was

always right. So was Dad. Why does it take so long to understand these things?

6. Time marches on...and on... and on....
