does it seem like time is just flying by?

I live in Savannah, Ga. I have jeans/denims in every style and color and will also wear them till the day I die. I am now 71 years old, had a birthday last Saturday and was told I am really cool.

[i][/i]HI Whiteheather :) I live in Oklahoma !! I do have a home in Montana tho. Yep,next month is May and and hopefully I won't miss two months(I must have typed that wrong !) ! I am soooo looking forward to spending the 4th here in Oklahoma this year with my grandkids and a few close friends. Yep, as one mylotter put it, we are at the RIPE OLD of 60...........and wearing jeans LOL I doubt I ever forget THAT post ! She doesn't know it but I was wearing jeans before she was born and will do so til I die LOL But I hate the way time just moves on and on and I seem to wake up and wonder where did the time go. And, hey, where do you live??? LOL, I imagine we both live here on earth LOL I do take time to smell the roses and listen to the rain on the roof. I have enough to keep me busy and I do work hard and still times just goes POOF !!! Talk to you later, quita

Yes, there is always work there and funnily it is there for only those who want to work... LOL.. There are many people around who don't work, even if there is a lot of work... They have plenty of money and don't need to look for a job... I used to feel jealous of such people in the past. But with time, I realized that these people become idle very soon. No work, no exercise and that affects their health, emotional intelligence etc... Yes, I know a few people like that Quita... I am sure you have known some too... Have a great time!

excellent point ! I do stay busy and sometimes, I think too blasted busy ! I can't imagine anybody not having anything to do...........or work to do.There is always a drawer to clean out or a part time job in any little town. I am glad you brought this thought up ! Thanks ! quita

I am so glad I am not the only

Yeah, I typed in the wrong month ..........or at least typed it wrong.......... so sue me LOL YOu all knew what I meant LOL Sorry for being such a scatter brain :)

Hmmm I tthink it seems very quickly for Quita if she thinks next month is JULY for heavens sake we still have all of MAY AND JUNE TO ENJOY!!

What a thought !! Thanks ! I am enjoying life now. I had two heart attacks and guess maybe I am taking time more seriously now and enjoy my son and grandkids. Time does seem to be moving faster tho. It was only yesterday I was a kid myself and now have three wonderful grandsons! I suppose you are right. time isn't moving faster, it's just me wanting more ! Thanks for the kind response. quita88

So true! Time does not wait does it ??? And it seems the more we have to do the less time we have doesn't it?? I sometimes wish time would just slow down and let me catch my breath ! Just a few hours or a day even would help. But hang in there and I think the answer is readjusting our time and if that doesn't work, just ENJOY the time we have with our loved ones. They are the most important things in life anyways.

time waits for no one so we just do what we can and try to enjoy every moment because once it passes it's gone forever. time management and setting priorities may make us feel we have some control but do we really?

Aww, Happy Birthday to your son! Take picture tho cuz he won't be one very long ! HOOrarrayyy for the first birthday !!

i will. im enjoying his innocence. thanks

No, it's not a mid life crises at all. It's due to our time being misspent I think at least. Really tho, I keep busy and plan ahead and have to keep a calendar of events so as not to forget. Time excapes me. I am 61 and time just flies by. I know that even today I've been up almost 6 hours and do not know where my time goes. I can tell you all I did but how did I do it so fast LOL Yes, the first half of the year is almost gone and I too will be able to file for social security in June................dah? who Me???? I hate to even think about Christmas. You are right it's only a blink away til we sing Here Comes Santa !! Shoot !! I'll be a great grandma if time doesn't slow down !!!

Boy do I understand time flying by being scary! No!~ It is not just you !You certainly are not alone in this battle to make time slow down. Tell me tho, if you could go back in time, what would you change????? I know what I'd change but his page isn't big enough to put it all on ! I would start with my high school years and learn more, then on to college and get a better education. I would not marry so young. I love my son and grandkids but looking back I see where I messed up. Many, many things I'd change. How's bout you, what would you change??

I relate to this! I have been talking to an old classmate and we too have decided time is not on our side ! But we have grown old, raised kids and now have grandkids and school now seems a million miles away. And, yes , back then time did seem to go sooo slow. Fast forward. Hadn't thought of it that way but is how it is happening. Taking time to smell the roses so to speak wouldn't hurt any one of us. I really do not want to miss one second of what life has left to offer me. I hope you can slow down and enjoy life. I'm certainly trying. Hang in there. quita88

Isn't it just awful how time seems to just vanish ??? Just yesterday I was battling an ice storm here in Oklahoma and now I'm battling heat??? And, as soon as I turn around I'll be putting up the Christmas tree??? I too am feeling old but finding out time is rushing by for most everyone. I know you are proud of that daughter ! What an age! Take care, quita

I have asked others what they'd change if they could. What would you change if you could?? I'll add that, I'll spend more time with my son and grandkids as well go more, do more. I'm not a traveler per sey but I'd spend more time in my garden and can foods like we used to do and make life simpler and not so hard to keep up with. So, so let me know what you'd do or change in the next year. I would like about 20 years back too LOL thanks!

Boy that is the truth! Everything we do is in fast style. Why do we do that to ourselves? I doubt the world will stop for us but I am tired of running with it. I want to enjoy not run ! Just like all the other members, just try to enjoy time as you find it !

Thanks for your kind words. Never stop teaching ! Time is important to us all and teaching just lengthens a part of you out to the students. I had two heart attacks last May ...........so I am relishing every moment. Thanks and never, ever quit teaching. TEaching is a gift..

Hi, I typed it wrong. I meant to say it would soon be July..............but guess I just goofed up !! Sorry bout that as I do know we have May and June to get thru and I am looking forward to these two months before the fourth of July! Just my goof up . It is always late for me for some reason.As hard as I try to get things in order I don't seem to have the time as it has passed me by. Sorry bout the time problem.

only a month off! lol an the firework stnd would out you to thinking of July

Yeah, I screwed up .......so sue me LOL I just mistyped is all and guess what ??? I saw the first fireworks stand yesterday as I was on my way to the ball games. You know , time really is flying by. I can't believe we've been back in OK for 7 months.....The VA was going to send B's meds to MT and not here.......I had to talk to the business office and they have now put us down for the year 2011 :) ok, I will be more careful next time. hugggssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Sorry to be so long in getting to this discussion. I have grandsons playing ball and that takes up so much of my time! And, my time is zooming faster every day it seems. I am however learning to appreciate the smaller things in life. Like, yesterday drivng to a far away game there were wildflowers abloom everywhere and in every color imaginable ! I could smell their fragrance as I drove and I made mental notations of fields just gleeming with flowers. Coming home, it was late and the stars were out and clouds streaked the sky like a stoke of white paint on blue canvass. Gorgeous ! So, I'm trying to hold on to the things /memories that count. Hang in there, open your mind and heart to things that make you smile.!

EASI is the acronym for "Equines Assisting Special Individual". We teach children and adults with disabiliites how to ride horseback out there. I ride on the drill team out there I was thinking I sent you the link to the website out there. If I didn't, here it is: www.easi.webs.com. The last time I checked it out, my picture still wasn't on there. Maybe one of these days, it will be, though, and I will let youall know. I ride the big Palomino named "Yellow" and his picture is on here. Practice went very well today, although it was very windy and somewhat cool. We had a bad storm here Saturday Night and several houses and businesses in the county were destroyed or messed up. Several people were without power but nobody was hurt as far as I know. My power kind of flickered for a few minutes but other than that, I didn't have any problems. March and April is a bad time for storms and tornadoes in Alabama! Thank you for the best response, btw! Kathy.

Yes, time doesn't stop for anyone does it? I hope you are right tho and cuz I stay busy all the time that is why it seems like time escapes me. I am not sure what EASI is. But hope the weather hold for you. I too dread Mondays but here it is Tues. and I have another busy week ahead of me too. But by this time next week I'll be wondering where all of this week went!! Enjoy is the answer I suppose !
