Time and time.

Even in the darkest moments.

I was listening to some of my favourite music from the far and distant past. One that struck me for some reason was the one about for everything there is a season. it was based on a well known biblical quotation but it was well done and very simple.

It got me thinking as I wandered round the golf course on my own. Might I add I was on my own by choice. I really just wanted no pressure and to have a few good shots.

Halfway round the course there is a notice that informs you that if you are playing to time it should take one hour and fifty minutes to each that point.  I was well on schedule.

Time! Do we ever give enough thought to it?

To realise the value of ten years:

 Ask a cancer survivor, and their spouse, and their kids and grand-kids.

To realise the value of four years:

Ask a smiling college graduate with their new degree. Or look at pictures of somebody on graduation day.

To realise the value of one year:

Ask the parents of a baby on his/her first birthday. How fast it has gone.

 To realise the value of one week:

 Ask an editor of a weekly newspaper.

To realise the value of one day:

Ask a man / woman who has been sober for a first day after years of addiction. 

To realise the value of one minute:

 Ask the father who got the last seat on the plane to make it to watch his child play a part in the school play.

To realise the value of one-second:

Ask the pilot who ejected just before the plane crashed.

Time waits for nobody. Seize the moment and spend it with somebody precious.

Have a marvellous day.
