How high of a value do you place on time? It’s the one commodity that we all receive in equal amounts on a daily basis. Yet, some of us seem to have more time than others. And others have quality time in small doses. The evening flies by after you get off from work, but it can drag on through your work day. We can’t buy more time or spend less time now to save more for later. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could?
I dream of having more time to use with those I love and less time to spend on the things that I’ve recently realized just don’t matter. I wish I could put my time in bottles and pour out the exact amount I need at the right time. I would be careful not to spill it any on bad movies with lousy plots. I would cup my hands and hold out more time for my mom and dad, my grandmother, and my sister. I miss them all so dearly. I would even give more of my own time to my sons and grandson, even those who gave their lives for others. I would hide one whole bottle
of time for special moments, like births, candid conversations and loving looks. I would save the “I do’s”
for times when I feel like I don’t. I’d open the bottle and remember why I did and why I’d do it again.
But I can’t put time in a bottle. I can dream and adjust my reality on a day by day, or hour by hour, or minute by minute basis to make my reality match with my dream. And while I’m adjusting, I can enjoy time. In my dreams, I can make the most of every moment. Can’t you? If you take the time to dream, you’ll know if you’re making the most of your time.
Enjoy the present time.
Relinquish the past.
Take charge of your time.
Allow your dream to flow into reality.
Time is precious so,
Dream Now
