Who can believe it is the end of May already? 2007 is now almost 5 months old. Is just does not seem possible anymore. But yet in fact, it seems like the busier I get in life, the more it speeds up. I work a Full time job, and try to post here in myLot, and some of the Writing sites I do, etc. and it always seems I never get enough time to do everything that I would like to do. On my days off, and in the evenings, the time just speeds by to where next time you know, it is back to work, and start all over again. I am hopefully going on Vacation in September if everything goes right, and looking very forward to the break. Until then time can Slow down just a bit if it wants.

yup. we celebrate new year and then in a blink of an eye, we celebrate new year again. and birthdays just pop by in a matter of seconds... we're growing old quick and we feel that we haven't done much in our lives yet.

It is hard to believe that May is almost over and we are heading into June. This year has been going by way too quickly for my liking. I wish that time would slow down a bit but am glad that we are having warmer weather now and it is lighter out and can my outdoor activities. You are definitely right about seeming to never have enough time to do things. The nights go by quick and the weekends and vacations. i am ready for my vacation in July.

Well, I am ready for a Vacation as well. If everything goes right we are going to NJ in September. This will be so much Fun. I am going to meet one of my Long time Internet friends I have not met yet. It will surely be nice to get away.

It does seem like time is going kind of fast. Before you know it, Christmas will be here again. I better start thinking about that soon. I have two grandchildren now to buy for.lol. The only time that time seems to go slow is when I am waiting for something.

Time is a factor that no body can control. You dont even know when it just flies away in front of you. Its so funny that we sometimes want to hold the time so the precious moment never goes away from us and sometimes we want the time to speed up a little bit when we are waiting for something. Well this is life my friend. I am a student and am living in a hostel. And guess what even i never came to know when the whole semester got over. Its already 4 months passed away since i came up here to my university. Now its time for me to go back to my home. Best of luck for your future and enjoy your vacations to your fullest and do try to catch up the most precious moments of your life.

I always blamed my lack of time on disorganization, but I bet it is not true, it is overcommitment. The best thing I think we can say about our busy lives is that we do not have time to get bored. I do wonder where the young woman I used to be has gone, but she got caught up in the speed of things as well. I hope to earn enough to go on vacation at the end of summer, or maybe even in July, if my daughter wins the writing contest she has entered.

Yeah, we are going to be doing Christmas shopping here before we know it! It's crazy and gets worse each year as I get older. And we used to laugh when our parents said that.

I know what you mean. My husband and I were just talking about the fact that tomorrow it will be a half of year has already slipped through our fingers. There was so much we wanted to accomplish and we haven't even put a dent in it. Time is something that can't be controled and the best a person can do is try to arrange their time so they can get as much done as possible. The arranging of time doesn't always work either because you have unexpected things that happen and than that throws your schedule off wack.

Well I gather that is how we feel. When we have nothing interesting to do, the day drags on and on. When we are on to something that is interesting, time fly past. What ever it is, it is still 24 hours a day.

Don't I know time goes fast! Yesterday I was 18 and I woke up this morning and I am 49. Where did those years go? Mind you, my mind is still 18 but the old body tells me something different.

Well, I can surely relate with this one for sure. There are days I feel like this. Hard to believe I have done all of the things in life I have, but find I learn a lot from them all.

Time is relative. The more activities wer'e engaged in, the quicker it seems to pass. Troubling situations, like waiting in a hospital, can slow down time to turtle pass. Joy can accelerate time till it seems to fly! I share with you the experience that there isn't enough time to do everything I would like to do. At the other hand, I use to make a to-do list and erase without remorse those things that can be done by others or that really can wait. Enyoy your break! Wished I had any in close sight. But then, I'd only spend it with a lot of time-consuming things. Perhaps it's not time that has to slow down, but you and I.

It surely does seem that time is speeding up and we have outselves to blame. We have 24 ours television now, work a bit much and then grocery shopping and family and computing again in 24 hours ability. Our time is not slow where you sit on the porch and then maybe chat with the neighbors (in person). We hurry to do most things anymore and need to take a minute to pause. I hope you have a great vacation. Ours in the end of August until Labor day. A good time to be had by all.

Are you making plans for 2008 yet? lol. The next 7 months will only pick up speed. I know how you feel. The summer is finally hear and blink your eyes and fall is just around the corner. Everyone needs a break now and then. I hope you get to go on your vacation in September. Just don't close your eyes for too long, it might pass right by. Is it just me, or does the clock seem to work triple time when we are on vacation? If I can, sitting back and doing nothing for a while seems to slow down the perception of time passing by.

I was just thinking this the other day. It seems the older I get the faster time goes by. For some reason I want to get the most out of every second available but sometimes just wear myself out trying to do too much.

I have to agree with you, time goes way too fast. Working a full time job plus a PRN job, keeps me way too busy. And not enough time to do the things I need to do let alone want to do. Hope you get to go on your vacation. We all deserve a much needed vacation once in awhile. I will be taking a vacation the end of June the first of July. And really looking forward to a little time off.
