Life is short so take it slowly.

If you knew you had a foot left on your yard stick would you want to travel by the inch or by the millimeter?
This old planet seems to be about the oldest thing in existence. Yea, right, the universe, but hey, it's out there somewhere billions of light years from me so what do I care about the universe, right?
When I get up and find I am able to still breath it is a nice thing for me to just know the sun will rise and remain for many hours, even if clouds are doing their utmost to hide the sun from me.
Sunshine on the planet filtered through the clouds is still a lot to be happy for.
For a fly, a day can be a year. For a Tree my lifespan can be a few hours at best.
For a world such as ours, even an entire era of a species can be a brief second in cosmic time.
If I had forever I would probably be keeping score. That is because even forever can seem too short.
"Say what?" I don't know, It's what was on my mind so I wrote it down here.

It is really short as you look back and see all the time gone-much of it wasted.

Not all of it. I have learned by my mistakes so I will not repeat all of them but as far as being a creature of habit, guilty as charged.

I would like to move slowly from this point on but instead, time is flying by.

Yes I think this is a universal constant in reality theory. In other words I quite agree with you. lol.

I had to take a break and at least write one post here. I find it good to take a break from my spring clean. Oh no. I see more stuff that has to be dealt with.

That's pretty deep thoughts. I think I would want to savor it as long as possible. Life is precious and I want to enjoy it as long as possible.
