In Nano Seconds

Take the time to be happy
take time to smile and chat
in these stressful moments
if we do not take the time
it runs faster than we realize 
the days run together 
the months run to years 
soon each nano second is gone
and we wonder where it goes
take a deep breath
 smell those roses
feel the sun on your face
for time does not slow down
enjoy the small things of life
do not stress over each day
do not chase after life
for it sometimes runs away.

Thanks for your note Lindsay. Well we are going to have the first snowfall of the season in the south eastern part of our province. Harvest is not half done so we need some nicer weather. love phyl

The one thing for certain. Every mortal feels the slippage of time and we all probably feel the small dread of it. It's what people believe about the end that makes all the difference. Your message is Right on!!

A day is moving faster... it feels like 8 instead of 24 hours...it's best we slow down and smell the flowers...
