time

When I worked as an educator, I thought I never
could find a minute to just sit back and relax. Now,
ten years after I retired, I find I still don't have
enough time. There aren't enough hours in the
day, and how did I ever have time to work full
time?

The big difference in then and now is that I
have some choice in how busy I am . I
probably do not manage my time too well
because I constantly run, run, run, just
like always. I never have time enough to
play.

Yes, we go on vacations every so often, and
we do play bridge one night per week.
I think much of the pressure is that which
we put on ourselves. I know that I make
myself crazy trying to juggle my schedule
to fit everybody else's .

There are many dimensions of time. For
instance, remember when you were a
child and a summer afternoon seemed
like forever. As we age, we have a diverse
opinion: It seems as if the weeks. months
and years fly by and we never know where
the time has gone.
