"So you run and you run, catch up w/ the sun but it's sinking, racing around to come up behind you again!" Pink Floyd from the song "Time"
I have a co-worker who likes Thursdays the best b/c it's the anticipation of the weekend. He said he has a tendency to over-expect so by the time the weekend is going on he's disappointed that more didn't happen on the weekend.
Thursday seems to fill me with a sense of wonder. As in, "I wonder what happened to the week?!? It seems like yesterday was Monday". I just am in awe at how fast time goes by. However, it still seems to me that the winter is too slow and lasts too long. (I love the song written by Jefferson Airplane called "Coming Back to Me" where he says, "The winter came as if it never had gone". ) Summer on the other hand seems to fly by.
I think the time flying by is a "good problem" to have, far better to have time go by too fast than too slow! I often wonder if I'm going to be one of those old people 30 yrs. from now who suffers from time going by too slow. I am really scared of getting old and not having enough money. I would go so far as to say that is my biggest fear in life. I figure that I will have far more expenses than I do now (b/c I won't be as healthy as I am today) and a smaller amount of income. I'm going to try and work as long as I can, well into my 70s. MB says that she will have to do that too. But will a company even want to employ me?? Then my Mom made a good point. I told her that I would be working when I'm 75 and she said, "Yeah, if your HEALTHY enough to work!" Exactly ! & who knows what my health will be like then?? I joke w/ my kids that they'll have to let me live with them b/c I'll be too poor to live by myself.
I guess I shouldn't worry about it, b/c who knows what will happen in 30 yrs. from now? & maybe I should have more faith in God. Well, right now, I should be worried more about what's going on at work...............
I've discovered a pleasing corollary to the idea that time is going by so fast. Most people don't like Mondays; I'm no exception. I love the weekends as much as anyone.
However, I got to thinking, the week flys by so fast, it seems like if it's Monday and you blink, it's already Wednesday! So if something is so short (which everyday seems to be) what's the sense of being so down on Monday??? It will be over before you know it. So, starting today, the only part of Monday I really disliked was hearing my alarm clock and getting out of bed and getting Andy up. Rather than "hating on" the whole day, I only felt down for about 10 min.
Then I had a very nice surprise. I always watch The Weather Channel to see how the weather will be like that week. This is even more important since I try and bike about 3 x a week. & who should I see but Heather Tesch. She was taken off of the early morning show at Weather Channel 2 months ago. I really missed her. I think she is still working another shift for TWC and was just filling in for Nicole Mitchell, but I gotta say it was great seeing her.
The Mother's Day weeked went well. MB enjoyed Saturday and Sunday PM. Her sister's b-day was Sunday, so as a "present", MB cleaned her house on Sunday morning. For her present, I took her and the kids to see Star Trek. Originally, we were going to see Monsters vs. Aliens. I'm soooooo glad we saw Star Trek instead! We couldn't see the kiddies movie b/c the area theatres wasn't showing it after 5 pm.

The movie was just outstanding. It was so good that I literally felt "high" walking out of the movie after the show. I've never had a movie do that for me. Very nice feeling!! Great plot, great acting, great ending, GREAT MOVIE !
