Passage of Time

You know there are times when it seems to go SO fast!  I mean, this year Christmas has almost come upon us and I could swear it has come MUCH faster than the last few years.  This year I reached my 50th birthday, I had my face reconstructed with the first operation on 4 December 2007 and moved up to Scotland 4 December 2008 and met and married Kevin in 2009.

And there are times when life seems to drag on and on and you feel like it will never end - like the lockdowns during covid.  It just seemed to go on and on and be completely endless.

Truthfully, when I am in hospital, I hate 2 things - a clock on the wall giving the WRONG time because the hands are stuck and it needs a new battery, and the television being on CONSTANTLY and playing FAR TOO LOUD!  I mean you get shoved on a ward and have to get on with it.  If the staff are friendly, it is SUCH  a relief.

I don’t mind if there is a clock ticking away while the days are going on during the hospital times.  Because I ALWAYS seem to look up to the clock to see the time but it’s actually generally meaningless.  I don’t know about you but it makes me feel like I am suspended in time, but when I arrive home, I realise HOW MUCH time I have missed in the change of the animals and Johnathan to myself.  But it doesn’t last long for them to readjust to me being home.

TREASURE

It doesn’t matter how fast or how slow or suspended time seems to be.  It goes at the same time but there are things like Christmas that can help to anchor you to the truthful passing of time.
