For so many, for the past couple of years, have lived the financial dream. The few have levered up to riches. Many now have to consider living versus hibernating from reality. Most America looks to Christmas and New Year as a celebration for a fresh start to find that it has already begun.

A legendary artist wrote a song ‘Funny How Time Slips’ reminding us how life is so precious.

Why do I say this?

Allow me to share a lesson I learn this year. A reminder, really, just when you think you have the correct answer and know the best solution to a problem, the possibilities are endless.

A few years back, I shared a feeling about connecting with immediate family and friends, only to find I wasn’t ready for the results. Our family and immediate friends were busy with their own lives. Not because they didn’t care but lived in their hamster wheel.

I woke up one day and said, ‘I need slow down time.’ But what was I going to do? Have you ever looked forward to tomorrow and looked back at history? I often did that, listening to old music, tasting old recipes, love the mustang and ‘the Bug.’ The fast and the calmness. Well…

The key to slow time is to enjoy today and make the day as long as possible, even at work or at play. We all wake up to the end of the day for tomorrow without guaranteeing it will come. Whether it’s my last day or someone else I care about ‘life,’ it manages to teach us a lesson for how well we enjoy tomorrow. Every life affects us in the most significant way by leaving us ‘partons’ from The Field “dianetics membrane” all that time; it was the Field, not the Brain. I wasn’t clear when a friend recommended the book, but as time flew by, I recognized that it was all about making as many partons as possible, and the only way to do that was to enjoy the completeness of a day.

To give you another measure of time, allow me to share an excerpt from Time And Beyond Time — by CS Lewis. A reading for how Christ can be in all places at all times.

Most people ask how Christ can attend to several billion people addressing him simultaneously.

Unlike our life comes to us moment by moment, one moment disappears before the next comes along: God is not in Time. His life does not consist of moments following one another. If a million people are praying to Him at ten-thirty tonight, He need not listen to them all in that one little snippet we call ten-thirty. Ten-thirty and every other moment from the beginning of the world is always the present for him. As if he too reaches out to the field for partons, The Field partons “dianetics membrane” all that time it was the Field not the Brain. .

Aging is the length of time a person has lived, measured by one’s meaning or a thing that has existed forever. — rudy

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year ☮️❤️🙂
