Where did it go?

No, you're right, we have actually lost time. When we are busy, planning ahead all the time, we live in the future and forget to live in the present. We are too busy looking forward to things these days. While it is great to have good things to look forward to, it's actually even better to make the most of each day with joy. It's a bit of a challenge to do so.

It has all been so "intense", hasn't it? And now it's nearly over! Everything from asylum seekers to Bedini, coconuts to cars, daylight saving for QLD, earthquakes to elections state & federal, floods to fires, St Mary Mackillop to Jessica Watson's solo voyage (did we cover that?). There's plenty more & I've only been on here a few months if that, but how far have we come, eh?

I hear ya Bill! It only seems like 6 months ago we were bringing in the new year!!My daughter has grown up heaps in the past year too Hopefully 2011 will be longer than 6 months because I REALLY don't want to be celebrating my birthday every 2-6 months.

HI BILL, yes this year has gone fast for me to. It doesn't seem possible a new year is close by.Alot of things have happened this pass year, good & BAD. i HAVE BEEN BLESSED TO have a pretty good year. I have one issue i would like to change but other than that i have been blessed. Hope u have to. Happy Thanksgiiving to u & your family.

You are not alone there Bill, I feel the same way. I can remember having a New Year’s party at our house and the thought that it is around the corner again so soon astounds me! One of my friends told me that time appears to move faster the older you get, I hope that’s not true or the year will only last a month for me soon! Oh, well, at least I’ve almost finished Christmas shopping…Should start on next year’s; it will be here before we know it (LOL)!

I feel the same. Maybe our memory is just improving or something but I remember last year like yesterday!

hi there, time just flies is becoming more and more true as every year passes by. I remember during my schooldays when there was no TV and the radio was just a big valve one and there was no other entertainment except to go out and play, the days used to pass languidly and lazily.Summer vacations were the worst. The 2 months of hot summer days would just drag along especially when i was stuck at home with no chance of going anywhere. But now things have changed and changed drastically.With the advent of TV and the computer the days are simpley flying by,whizzing i should say.With so much to do it looks as though the days are getting shorter and shorter.The day dawns and within no time it is afternoon and evening follows quickly with the night snapping on its heels and lo behold another day has gone by.Just a while ago it was Jan and then May came all of a sudden and now its Nov halfway through and then 2011 is just a stroke away. Yes, as the days,months and years whiz past we should not forget that with every day and year gone by,we are coming to the end of this life on Earth.Scary but true and we never know when that fateful day will come.Life has become so fast and furious besides stressful that the days of our life on this planet are becoming shorter and shorter and we find that sometimes people are going away even before they have tasted life in its entirety.

The first part of the year seemed to drag very slowly... There are some things that make me think "Was it really only 11months ago??" and yet, I barely seem to have cleared away the wrapping from last Christmas before starting to wrap for this one (admitted I do start fairly early but...nonetheless...) More amazing to me are the number of years I seem to have skimmed through... I need lots more to cram in all those things I meant to do but haven't quite got round to yet.

The year has flown by for me too. They do seem to go by faster every year. I am frequently amazed when I look at my children as to how fast they have grown up. I went from wiping hineys to arguing over curfue in the blink of an eye. I don't think we are given enough time to adjust..lol.

It does seem to go extremely fast anymore. I was thinking I had much more time to get the things I am planning for Christmas but now I have to do some rethinking. I don't know where the time goes, but as my gandmather use to say, it stands still for no one!

Yep, when you're old, time seems to fly a bit faster especially if you look back at how it had been. You're gonna think about the decisions you've made and whether they've been right so far and in the process, evaluating how fast the years have come.

Every single year it really just takes me by surprise. Every year without fail, even though I swear I'm not going to be surprised by this one. Not this time, not this year all things considered. Really it just floors me. We are about a month and a half away from 2011. It just proves that how much life just really does pass us by. I swear its often times where I blink a lot of the time and the year is over. I remember it just seems like yesterday where I was gearing up for 2010. Christmas had just passed. I believe it does seem like I was just talking about how quickly 2009 went. Then I'm here talking about how quickly 2010 went. Before I know it, I'll be talking about how quickly 2011 went. It is insane.

Its not just you who experienced this. I also have been experience the speed of time. It kinda frustrates me that someday I'll have to get old and die soon. If there's only a way to stop aging. I do not wish days to end sooner, there's a lot to happen in one day. I didn't really get the way you've expressed that a year was only six months. I actually thought that you're going to get mad because your daughter is excited not to go to school. Anyway, thats just how my father acts.

I don't know if its all because of the Prophecies of 2012, but I really do feel there are lots of changes unraveling here on earth. Who knows if the real time has been obscured from view, by higher Gods who have these secret abilities. You've been in the same state of mind as many, because time is going away. I'm suspecting that all the analog, digital and rotary clocks have been manipulated of there real time. The prophecies do hold that God will control our time here, and this might be the biggest chance before 2012. Is there anyone else with the same opinion, and RawBill, do you have any beliefs about my response?

Yes this year did go by sooooo fast. Every one I know also says the same thing. I wonder why?

Cliche as it may sound, but, time does fly. One minute you're planning what to do for the new year, the next minute, you're pondering whatever you did that year. Most times, we get so caught up in our affairs we fail to realize that time is passing and passing swiftly!
