ah, i feel like rambling a little bit tonight, so y'all bear with me. debted sent me a beautiful email - a page from a daily motivation site, and so i explored it and found quotes. you've seen those, no doubts - sites that email you a daily quote as some kind of motivational device to start your day. well, i found one that said something like...
time isn't something you find. it's something you take.
how true that is! you can come up with dozens of reasons for not finding it, but what reason can you give for not taking it? it's right there - all you have to do is grab a little for yourself or someone else...
i'm thinking time must be like chocolate cake. you might take a slice if you say to hell with the diet (routine). you might cut an extra if the first one is good, might even share it with another person - but you can always go back on the diet and it won't take long to catch up again.
and then there's time as the benevolent thief. it does soften blows or hurts. you'll remember them, yes...but time is mitigating...and you'll have to work to recall some events or people, while others won't take effort at all.
as for me, time has robbed my widow's peak of the dark brown that is my natural hair color, but it has afforded me opportunity to sit in this chair and type ridiculous ramblings such as this one.
oh, and another well known fact about time - it slips away so quietly...and still it's hard to learn to use wisely. this might be a good time to start.
have a great week, ladies.

Sometimes I always feel like Scarlet..."I'll think about it tomorrow"....always confident that there will be more time. At times when something horrible happens and we all hug our loved ones closer...it feels like we wish we could turn time back. Sandi
Lovely entry! I always think about that scripture in Ephesians (actually there's one in Colossians, too) that uses the expression, "buying out the opportune time", which basically means the time is there we just may have to "buy" the slice (to use your metaphor) from something else that we could be doing. The King James version puts it as "redeeming the time", which is also a good expression.
You have a great week, too!
