Time Lapse

Time!  It’s a weird thing.  Not so long ago I was bemoaning the fact that I had far too much time on my hands and didn’t know what to do with it.  I can honestly remember days when I sat and stared out of the window, wondering how the heck anyone could ever complain about not having enough of the darned stuff!  Funny how things turn on a sixpence, isn’t it!

These days I don’t have enough time to do all the things I want to do.  My lovely mum said, not long after she retired, that she didn’t know how she had ever found the time to go to work and although we all laughed with her I think I understand what she means now!  I set out with a plan in my head every week, and every day and if I get some of my plan ticked off I consider I’ve done well.  Everything takes so looooooong!  I’m not moaning, just laughing at the evidence of the universal law that states the task expands to fill the time allocated!  Sooooooo true.

The clever Agnes Coy has written about this on her lovely blog but she has a good excuse – a new baby!  I too have a new baby, a beautiful grand-daughter who lights up my life.  When she is around time stands still and nothing else matters.  But between visits the time must whizz by because she is growing and learning so much, so fast.  It doesn’t seem much more than the blink of an eye since she arrived and here she is, seven months old, sitting up and delighting her audience, using a cheeky, toothy grin to charm us all. Ah well, I guess like Agnes, I’m not complaining…

BTW:  I’m in the process of setting up at Folksy which is the UK equivalent of Etsy…early days but I hope to have a full range of items available in the next couple of weeks so I hope you’ll drop by and take a look…
