Today was a day of little things. I mopped. I hung a hat rack. I tidied up the hall closet. I did dishes. etc. etc. etc. And it just ate up my entire day.  I've now done one blog post, answered one email and checked in on the various message boards that I enjoy perusing. while busying myself with all of the work around the house, I found time to watch most of a 3 hour documentary about John Casavettes.

lookin on the day I wonder how so much time can disappear so easily and where it went. Then the kid comes running in after school and the day seems like it never ends for him.  reber howday had a similar quality when I was young. Each day would feel like it went forever. the time between sunrise and sunset, and then between sunset and sunrise, seemed like eternity.

Now, I know time disappears as quickly for each of us, despte how differently we may view it but I can't help but be a little envious of his perception of time in relation to my perception of it. And I wonder if it's really just a question of trying hard enough to change perception that would allow me to find those extra hours in the day or if it is a quality relegated only for the young - something that is taken away from us just as life is beginning to open its many doors for us.

Sitting here, working on this blog, I wish time passed a little slower now.
