You know the saying, "time flies when you're having fun." Well, the saying is somewhat accurate but so very wrong at the same time. Time flies, whether you are having fun or not. People only say time flies when you're having fun because happiness brings such joy but seems so fleeting. Before you know it the moment of happiness and elation comes to an end, and the sudden realization of resolution makes people somewhat introspective. However, the regrets and satisfactions that come from contemplation can and should steer you in the right direction; that direction is forward. Time does not go backwards, nor does it stand still. It is a perpetual driving force and wake up call to take advantage of the gift that is constant, and that is the present. With that being said, I will take advantage of the blessing of life and thank God for giving me an opportunity to grow and to understand the significance of now.Now will one day become the past. Now is also the future that is soon to be. However, I do not dwell on the past that could have been or focus on the future that is yet to come. I live in the now, because the present is the best gift of all.
Hello Dennis. This is Stacie Hedrick from A & P II that just ended. Just to let you know I have been following your blog since you posted it in the first week of class. I love to read what you write. Your intellect and words to live by are extraordianry. Everything you have wrote has a special meaning and I take something from it each time I read one of your passages. I look forward to reading more of your wonderful blogs. Hope that our future journey cross paths again in the future. Until then, best wishes.

Wow, Thank you, Stephanie. I truly appreciate your kinds words. It was so unexpected to see your comment that I had to do a double take. It's usually one or two people in particular that I was surprised when I saw your name. Anyway, I hope that I continue to make worthwhile posts to bring positivity to this blog. Obviously, life is not perfect but that doesn't mean that we can't "look on the bright side."

ReplyDeleteThank you, Sharon. You are too kind. I'm not sure if I sent you the check, but I'll send it tomorrow. So the check will be in the mail tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteThe saying is true because time does fly when you're having fun. When life is good, you look up & the day is done. However, that one bad moment seems to last forever and time just stands still and tortures you...not exactly going by quickly.
ReplyDeleteOur lives are seen in the blink of an eye for God, so I agree with you in enjoying the present, it is a gift indeed and was meant to be enjoyable. And that one bad moment, is truly just a blink of an eye, if we learn to see things through His eyes, and not our own. That one bad moment is a lesson to be learned, an opportunity to grow, and makes for a better tomorrow.
