Monday Morning Motivator & Some Points to Ponder...

Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you.
~Carl Sandburg

Time... who can really understand its mystery and design?

Time is the most undefinable yet paradoxical of things; the past is history, the future is yet to come, and the present is all we have... And even that becomes the past in our feeble attempt to define it.

To me, time is an equal opportunity employer. We all have exactly the same number of hours and minutes every day. We can't buy it. It can't be invented. And we can't save it to spend on another day. All we have is today. What will you be spending your time on today...

Thus far this morning...I am spending my "time" reading posts...i have noticed lately though that I have "more time" and as a result I waste it since I can always do the "thing" tomorrow. Does that make any sense. I do best when I am forced to juggle many balls, it breeds energy and my best use of time. Think I'll go take a nap now... lol

Michael, as you know I'm a big fan of you, your wisdom and your photography. This is one of the best yet. I wish I had that photo -- blown up, framed and hanging in my dining room!

So that's why I'm feeling a bit 'overdrawn' today! I'd best put some time back into that bank and spend more wisely tomorrow. (But that's just the post-vacation blues talking.)

Exactly Michael, no man's millions or billions for that matter will buy you more time. We especially related to your comment 'becareful how you let others spend it!"

Sometimes I feel like time is racing. It seems the older I get, time moves faster and faster.
