Time

Time. It is many things. For one thing it is that item that we always feel we never have enough of. Then there is the time we remember from the past. Our hopes depend on time and so do our dreams. In time we get things done. Due to time things aren't done.Time attributes to many things.

How many times have you planned on doing something, but there wasn't the time to do it? When was the last time you gave what you spend your time doing a thought?

I know my time could be better spent then I spend it. Constantly I tell myself I will figure out better time management. Instead of wasting time doing this or that I will workout, I will do more around my house to get organized, I will spend more time with friends, or work on more crafts. Maybe I will read more books and learn more things. Honestly some of those things I use to be really good about making time for. It seems as life has gone on and time has slipped by me I have lost not only the time to do certain things, but the energy. Hee Hee. Maybe with time and determination I will get better at things.

My memories are filled with times of good and bad things. Even the worst things though at times remind me of the better times. Some how both seem to lead to each other and meld themselves together. Maybe it is due to the people I spent with in both those times. The laughter, the love. . . . during the good times. The betrayal, the hurt. . . . .  during the worst times. Very few people who have crossed the path of my life has left only bad memories (or times). I guess if all there were was bad times then there wouldn't be a lot of memories of the person, because in most causes we wouldn't have them in our lives.

Our dreams and hopes depend on time as well. It takes time to make a dream come true. Hopes depend on time. If there was no way to see a possible time frame to make our hopes come true then there would be no hope. The time frame of our hopes and dreams can be as short as a second or as long as past our lifetime. Martin Luther King looked forward to end of humans seeing the color of each others skin. He knew that his dream may not come to pass in his lifetime, but he believed and hoped that some day the time for his dream would come. He hoped that some day we all would only look at one another as one race. That race is human. As he wished for that time to come I do as well. Some dreams aren't as grand as Martin Luther King Jr.'s, but they still mean a lot to the person they belong to. Those dreams can be as simple as living another day, seeing your children grow, having children, going on a trip, falling in love, or graduating from college. Whatever your dream is it takes time to make it happen.

People sometimes run out of time before they succeed at their goals. We all have a limited time here and most of us have many things we would like to do before our time is done. Some of us may already be working on those things. Others may have alreay accomplished our list and be trying to think up new things to do. Then there are those who don't think of these things for until time starts running out. I can't say I have a set list of things I want to do. I am not that type of person. Not that I didn't use to think about those thins or want to make a long list. What happened was I realized only a portion of life do I have control over. So my list exsists, but it is split between what I know I can accomplish for sure, what I believe will be accomplished and what I hope will be. I know not as exciting, but I have had lots of plans that have been changed due to life and time. Oh and due to that elusive thing called. . . . . . money. I am hoping next year several of those things will happen. One being going to Ireland and another being owning a house. Granted they have been postponed many times I won't give up believing that I will find a way to get those things.

Time makes up our past. Our present is the time we currently have to do what needs to be done. The future is the time we hope and dream of. May you make of your time what you want it to be and may you have all the time you need. Only time will tell what our time will become. Will we help a person who is in need? Will we leave a mark in history? Or will only our ancestors remember us and what we did?
