Every have one of those weeks that seems to last forever? Where Monday feels like a year ago? 

That was this week. It’s a beautiful Friday  night and I’m sitting here feeling like the past week has dragged on for a year. 

I’m not sure why. The week was extremely busy. It feels like I barely had a minute to rest. Usually weeks like this go by lightning quick. 

The perception of time is such an odd thing. As my grandparents got older they kept telling me that the older they got, the faster time seemed to move. I always thought that was funny considering that they kept doing less and less as they got older. I would have thought the exact opposite perception of time would be the case. 

The perception of time continues to highlight the need to (try to) stay focused on the moment. It’s easy to get caught up on the to do list of things to come, or to ponder things already past. Floods of information and images come at us from all over, TV, internet, radio. It’s more difficult than ever to stay present and focused on the here and now. 

Maybe this week is a good reminder to step up my efforts and to keep focused on what’s right in front of my face!
