How Small a Part of Time We Share

How Small a Part of Time We Share


The shadows are getting longer, the heat of the sun is subsiding. Some things are left undone. That's just the way it is.

I talked to someone older and wiser today. She reminded me of some important facts, that we need to remember How Small a Part of Time We Share. She reminded me that we need to use that Time wisely. 


  • We never feel that we get enough time. Whether it's time to sit quietly on our balconies or precious time with each other. Choose carefully. Respect yourself, your moments, your sense of calm. You don't need to like everyone. Or at least, take a 30-day snooze from them. It seems that even facebook allows that.


  • Manage with what you have, mix it up so that it becomes your own. Don't you love my thrift store find of greenery that never needs watering? There's no need to torment yourself. Make it up. Be creative. Enjoy. It's your life.


  • Sometimes the unexpected get along perfectly well together, a frog and a bunny side by side. No one can tell you who will cross your path next. Everyone has something to teach you. Even if it is to teach you to keep your distance.






  • Take a chance. This pot of grasses is a first attempt. Maybe it will survive into the next season, maybe it won't. At least you tried.




  • Each joyful and painful moment is fleeting when we look back. If we don't stay connected to the gift it is bringing us, the lesson it is teaching us, we have surely wasted it.



  • Be grateful, learn, leave behind the excuses, surround yourself with others who believe in joy. There are already enough complainers. 


It's what we see that creates our world. (Tweet This)

Thanks Auntie. 

Now tell me, what have you learned about Time?
