Time.\u00a0 Now that is something isn’t it? We all have it…. at least… for some time.<\/p>\n

Most people are pretty concerned with it.\u00a0 What time is this or that happening?\u00a0 How much time will this take?\u00a0 When was the last time you did that?<\/p>\n

Time, time, time.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We measure it.\u00a0 We kill it.\u00a0 We give it away.\u00a0 It always cracks me up, when some says… “Hey buddy.\u00a0 You got the time?”\u00a0<\/span> “Well of course I have the time.\u00a0 Everyone has the time.\u00a0 The question is… Time for WHAT?”<\/span><\/p>\n

Time for what.\u00a0 Some people try to save it.\u00a0 Like it can be put in a little “Time Piggy Bank.”<\/p>\n

There is an entire marketing blur of Time Savers.\u00a0 New and improved products to save us time.\u00a0 Again, I have to wonder… just a bit…. when someone says… “blah, blah, blah saved me five minutes.”\u00a0 And then they tell eight people how they saved five minutes…. only to have used an additional 40 minutes in the process of boasting about saving the time in the first place.<\/p>\n

People spend a lot of time clipping coupons to buy time savers.\u00a0 Little bit of a quandary, yes?<\/p>\n

But we have what we have.\u00a0 Using it well is a pretty dang big deal, I think.\u00a0 What do we want to fill our time with?\u00a0 Eating Cookie Dough Icecream with Peanut Butter Chocolate Fudge, or playing Yahtzee, or riding a roller coaster?\u00a0\u00a0 Well, yes.\u00a0 In the case of most people…. we want our time to be happy.\u00a0 Good.\u00a0 Satisfying.<\/p>\n

But one truth about life…. at least my life… is this.\u00a0 Happiness isn’t a non-stop-thing.\u00a0 Happiness comes in moments.<\/p>\n

Moments of happiness….like a lot of other emotions…… pass before us all the time.<\/p>\n

If we want to enjoy those happy moments…. it is truly up to each of us.\u00a0 If we can recognize them… when they are happening…. and soak them in…. we have it.\u00a0 Even for a minute.<\/p>\n

They pop up… those experiences… and sometimes they feel boundless.<\/p>\n

But… as with everything that hinges on time…. it changes.\u00a0 It passes.\u00a0 And turns into something else.<\/p>\n

Yes…. it all changes… every moment.\u00a0\u00a0 Exactly, when it is time.<\/p>\n
