Time is Funny

I was trying to think of my next blog theme when I heard the song "Times" by Tenth Avenue North. I have already done a video to that song but it got me thinking none the less. Time is a funny thing when you really think about it. There are only two wishes for time; more of it or for it to move faster. When you are sitting in class waiting for 3:00 p.m., it cannot move fast enough. When you are watching your baby girl as she touches the ocean for the first time; it cannot go slow enough. People always make the comment that time speeds up when you have children. We all know that is scientifically impossible but it does not feel that way. I use to want time to move faster so that I could reach the next stage in my life, i.e. teenager, driver's license, 21, marriage. Now the only thing that I want time to do is give me a few more minutes with Claire falling asleep in my arms. A few more pushes of the swing. A few more silly looks as she learns how to use her voice. A few more seconds to enjoy her before she rushes towards her next stage of life.
