The older I get, the more precious my TIME means to me. Wouldn't it be nice if we could bottle it up and use it whenever we needed some extra? Whenever my husband and I plan a home project he always mentions our TIME and figures that into the cost. I always tell him that we're just free labor. When we lived in Carnation, WA we lived in our first home and changed a lot of things in it over TIME. When it came TIME to move, I found myself a little reluctant to leave because of all the elbow grease we put into it over the years. There was a lot of TIME and good memories immersed in the walls, molding, cupboards, yard, etc.
I find myself trying to allocate my TIME in my mind during the day. I am trying to get to know a couple ladies a little better and by the TIME I can reach the phone, it is too late to call them. Yet there are others that are clearly busier than I am making the rounds and visiting and serving us. Sometimes, I am very amazed that with how much TIME can cost, what others are willing to give to me and my family. I feel I am surrounded by great givers of TIME who know how to bottle it up and let it out when needed!

I am so glad I found you! So, if you ever get it figured out, let me know. Today I want to spend 1 hour each doing doing several different things, but it seems like what I choose to do first will take the rest of the day! ie 1 hour gardening or 1 hour Family History could turn into the whole day! Oh to be disicplined and accessable all in one great person!
I know exactly what you mean! I'd like to know that secret!
I love your new header . . . and your thoughts on time, too. I truly don't understand how it seems to go so much faster. I would think the older/slower I get the slower it would go.
ya, isn't that amazing how you wonder what happened to the day? I try and plan things but get stuck on the phone working out some problem or another. Then before I know it I look at the clock and it's 3pm! Cute post!
