Twenty-Four Hours

There is still twenty-four hours in a day.  We have more "labor saving" devices than ever before.
Where does our time go?   We all seem to be in a frenzy, a daily rush.........it is a sort of addiction.
We appear to thrive on chaos, to take great pride in talking about how little time we have, how busy we are.

There is still twenty-four hours in a day.  We make the choices, push, we fill our agendas, and over schedule.
We do more and more to achieve less and less........it makes no sense.

There is still twenty-four hours in a day.   The sun comes up, the sun goes down.  The body needs, food and water and movement and rest, and fresh air and sunshine.  How can we deny ourselves our basic needs?

There is still twenty-four hours in a day.  Time with those we love, time spent doing what we love.......that is how you get more hours in the day......more bang for your bucks.

There is still twenty-four hours in a day.  The world won't stop if the house doesn't get cleaned, laundry done, kids to soccer practice, a fourteen hour work day.......but it will stop, if you lose your health, your family and friends, you lose yourself.

There is still twenty-four hours in a day.  A perfect balance, the moon and stars, the sun, the wind and rain, light and dark........it's what we choose to do with those twenty-fours hours, how we live them, how we spend them.......twenty-four hours in a day.......since the beginning of time........it's still the same, twenty-four hours in a day.

  1. I'm usually stunned by how many activities parents plan for their kiddos. I'm glad I grew up without a cell phone, video games, only 3 tv stations to watch and chores to do. My summer plans were "go outside and blow the stink off" until dinner! (Ok , lunch was included!). Most days the stamina to get it all done isn't there...mostly the desire to do it all isn't there either! Enjoy your day Jilda..all 24hrs of it!
