Are you missing something? | Grandma’s Stories

Nov 23rd Are you missing something?

When I was a little girl, and that’s been a long time ago, it seemed to me that “TIME” just stood still. I can remember sitting on benches with some of my little friends, and we were talking about – “How long do we have to wait for supper?” We also were saying, “The clock just is not moving – how do ‘we’ get the clock to move faster?”

It was as if we did something or could even try to do something “that “TIME” would move faster and we could have something to do? When you are little, and I’m guessing this goes for all little “SMART TIKES” – that’s the class of “SMARTIE”S” that we thought we were in – and we had to get the world to move faster?

So now, I’m putting my foot down on the “BRAKES” of time – we need to slow down “TIME” – it’s going too fast – I cannot keep up with what I need to get done in one (24) hour day! I find myself complaining about things that are not getting done, especially since I am either too slow or the day is too fast!

There is so much that I have – that I want to read, and if I take time to just sit and read – the day is shot – all gone? And, I have a whole list of stuff, which just has to wait for another day – hopefully a longer day or a faster me? In reading something that just seem to be what I needed to read – is inspiring me to stop complaining about what I cannot change and think about the blessings that I have received, and ask blessings on everybody and everything that is requiring more time than what I can give at that time! In other words realize that as one gets older, one must also learn to slow down.

Today, we are on a very fast journey, which is turning into a “rat race” – and the “body” being used today… has already used up the best of its energy a long time ago. So, I am doing a better job, because I am “blessing” everyone around… as I go, and I’m finding… that by “blessing” everyone that I meet each day on my daily rounds – I feel like I have more energy and strength to get more done each lovely day – more so… than in the past.

I just “LOVE” blessing everyone as I go – You know that… “what you say is what you get back” – and getting all those “BLESSINGS” is the best part of this journey!”
