What is Time?

Time, isn't it something? 
It goes too fast
It goes too slow
It never stops
We never have enough of it and yet time also tells all.

I shared the above words for the first time with my cousin in Ireland. I am not sure what we were talking about, my guess is life. I mean where else does time play a greater factor?   

I currently sit snuggled on my bed, blankets and pillows around me, a fat cat at my feet,  it is not yet 2 in the afternoon, but today I simply didn't want to work. Some days are like that, for me I seem to get lost in my thoughts and the best way I know to find focus is to write, so I do.

I shared these words about time with someone special. It reminded me how.

Time, truly does rule all. 

I have been home from Africa for a few weeks now. I landed smack in the middle of holiday planning, so I guess you could say I felt behind from the moment I landed.  Business, family, life and the always insane holiday shopping all waited for my arrival, all slowly tapping watches with a finger nail, a raised eyebrow and a sense of urgency.  
Before I left for Africa I was, umm well , I actually do not know. I was great, but I was also lost. 

My last journal entry was just before I left.

 "I wonder if I will ever be content in where I am? or am I always to wander this earth seeking recognition in the eyes of others. When I say recognition , I mean the soul type. The people whom you feel most at home with, the eyes that smile without a lip ever curling
The spark of joy that is felt.
The fire of passion. 
The calm of peace."

Now that I am home, I can say with absolute clarity that I know who I am and where I am going. I've always had a good idea, but now it is razor focused. It means change. Change I want and honour, it is time. It is always about time. 
Did I feel peace? Passion? Joy? I did. I truly did. Did I look into eyes that smile? I did. I truly did.
 For if there is one thing that is absolutely magical about time, it is this.
Time gives you moments.
​
Moments make a life. 

Do not give up your moments.

Time is waiting for you to choose

Choose the life you are meant to live

Choose you and I promise you, time will seem to stand still ever so briefly to look and smile at you.
