I am curious

Do you remember the old saying, “Time flies when you’re having fun”? Well, tomorrow I turn 53 and I am not having fun. So why does time continue to fly? Any ideas would be appreciated.

  1. Jill, my first thought was: They are stealing our time. They’ve forced us into a fulltime job of self-defense, and all our precious moments are invested in fighting them, so we are left with the illusion that time is flying by. I’ll share that I still try for balance adding in some nature walks, a good film now and then, some good music, and if I’m lucky, a face-to-face meaningful conversation. I guess I’m stealing back time. Anyway, Happy Birthday!! You share that day with my daughter. May it grant you some “time” for enjoyment.

  2. First off Happy Birthday Jill
    Second , I agree with Galen

    One thing I’d like to say is
    It felt like to me after I hit 50
    Things really seemed to move faster
    At 57 even faster
    But as I said
    I agree with Galen as it seems with all the extra shit stacked on us , it seems to eat up the free time we once had

    Many more Jill
    Be safe

  3. It is like a busy day at work on a complicated object. You hurry to finish and blink your eyes and say, “Where did the day go?”
    No rest for the mind hardly at all any more so the weeks and months fly by like that busy day at work. But it is just the life of the goyum and it stays that way until we work the problem and once again operate under our own free will, just once in a while doing what we want instead of what we have to.
    Have a happy birthday tomorrow. 🙂

  5. Happy tomorrow birthday, Jill. I can’t answer your time flies question because whether I have fun or not time always flies for me…even when I swat flies. Bwahahahahahahahahah! (Better yet, when preying mantises eat them…). And my son, daughter-in-law and grandson just left this area to return home (vacation plus furlough over “covid”); hadn’t had so much fun since completing my trilogy book and yet time went about as usual. Blessings to you!

  6. “The flow of time is always cruel, its speed seems different for each person, but no one can change it. A thing that does not change with time is a memory of younger days.”

    I just turned 51 on August 16th, so I’m right behind you on the path of life. Have a great birthday! I always loved the lyrics to Jim Croce’s “Time In A Bottle”: “But there never seems to be enough time to do the things you want to do once you find them.”

  7. There’s no such thing as down time, free time or spare time. All you’ve got is lifetime.

    Happy Birthday and do your best to enjoy this crappy carousel ride called “life”. You only get one ticket to punch so make it happen and try to leave a better legacy than that of the one person you admire most. You don’t have to succeed but you do have to try. Best wishes to you and hopes for many more. 🙂

    1. “…try to leave a better legacy than that of the one person you admire most.”

      I like that very much, though them are some big shoes to fill.

      🙂
