Time Won't Wait

Unbridle your cluttered mind
Keeping your nose to the grind
Focus on the task at hand
Draw your line in the sand

Shake the dust off dreams and goals
Make things happen as drum rolls
Time is so short in this world
Your marks in the sand unfurled

I can't tell you how many times that has happened to me so I totally understand your feeling, Andrea.

Maybe this is a bit of the definition of mindfulness that i failed so miserably at for that one contest. Good description of the importance of using time well.

I have a hard time believing you would fail "miserably" at any contest, Andrea.
