Time: It's a love hate relationship

Time it's a complicated subject. An inanimate object that seems to take on its own personality and live! I don't know about you but I have a love hate relationship with time. I'm sure some of you are thinking: you should be thankful for every minute of time your given in life! To those of you that think that I would say you are absolutely right and I am very thankful for every minute I'm given. This past year has been full of so many wonderful moments I have been able to share with my love. Those are the minutes I will cherish forever and I can't wait to see what comes our way over the next year.

Ok I know your thinking I said something about hating time, and I do. That's right I love it and hate it at the same time!

Here's how: Time seems to be alive, sure it's only a concept. But I don't know if any of you have noticed but when we want an answer to something or have a deadline life seems to take on its own speed. If we are anxiously awaiting an answer time decides it wants to move painstakingly slow! Or if we have a deadline, you blink and the deadlines here and the project is not quite complete.For this reason I hate time!

This concept holds so much control over our lives, it keeps us from making decisions or makes us make quick ones, it makes us stressed and anxious or excited. Whatever time is doing it effects all areas of our lives. It bothers me that something so small and invisable holds such a leash and control on our life.

No matter how we try time will always have some effect on our lives. Even if you don't stress about decisions it still effects your life. You can arrive in three ways: Early, On time, or late. But either way time still has an effect on your life!

My challenge today is not to let time have a firm grasp on my life. Sure it will always have a small effect but I'm talking on a larger scale then arrivals. I'm talking about stress level. I'm trying to push the stress time creates out of my life. Two tools I'm using to banish this stress from my life? Patience, sure for me its a weak contender but, I'm doing my best to make this a strong area of my life! The other is being diligent! Also known as time mangement, sure this isn't the easiest thing to do, and for me its an even weaker area than patience, but I have to try I can't continue to let time drive me crazy. So here goes nothing! Bring it on Time because I'm prepared to put up a fight! I will no longer be controlled by fear of not knowing!!! I will no longer be worried about never having enough of you! I'm going to learn to make our relationship wonderful, sure I'm sure there will be moments where things aren't wonderful between the two of us, but hopefully it will be better than hate! I want to cherish absolutely every minute I'm given not just some of them!

Until Next Time
