time passed so slowly. Especially when attending school! The months dragged by it seemed but now it is already nesarly October. It seems like we just started September. OMG! Time just flys by since we're on the other side of 50...!

I definitely agree with you, Chatty. I always thought the months after Christmas just dragged by. Maybe that's because of gloomy winter weather, plus there were no school holidays until Good Friday.

The only time that drags for me is when I'm in a doctor or dentist's office or doing something I'd really rather not do. Other than that time flies so fast it makes my head spin.

I believe the weather has a lot to do with how fast or slow
time passes Sandy...

Hi Chatty, Sometimes I think it's because we look at things differently over 50; for example, I too dreaded the month of January when I was young, as the holidays were over, and the weather was cold. Now, I look at January as new beginnings, time to clean the closets and try those soup/stew/chili recipes. I also use January as an excuse to buy a new purse for no other reason than it makes me feel great.

I loved winter when I was young. Now I don't like winter much.
Love the other seasons, however. Currently, the colored leaves warm my spirit.

Chatty,
I heard this on RFD-TV a few weeks ago. [Life is like toilet paper; the closer to the end we get, the faster it goes.]

Boy isn't that the truth!!!!!!!!!

I think there is so much to fill every minute of our day anymore that time seems to pass so quickly we can't fit it all in. I think sometimes time seemed to drag when we were kids because we had to provide our own entertainment and at times that entertainment was just sitting in the back yard, looking up at cloud formations in the sky.

I loved TV when I was a kid but with only one TV station and very little on for children at that time, we didn't spend much time at that. I loved reading too but there were so few books out there for kids that I ended up reading and re-reading the same Nancy Drew and Trixie Belden books.

Nowadays, kids have so much entertainment right at their fingertips that time goes much faster for them. Plus they are always at either birthday parties or soccer practice or some kind of organized sports.

Nobody has time for time to drag anymore-lol
