Time marches on

I have always heard the old saying:

Time flies when you are having fun.


But I realized on Saturday, that time has help in flying by too fast. I went into Hobby Lobby. As I entered the store, there was a big display of 4th of July stuff. No problem since the 4th is less than a month away. I must say I am used to Hobby Lobby putting out their Christmas merchandise early. Hey, it takes time to make those craft projects that are used to decorate with or those that are to be given. What did I see when I rounded the aisle? Rows and rows of fall leaves and pumpkins. All the summer stuff had been moved to a couple of aisles to make room for fall. I love fall but hey it was June 2nd and the first day of summer has not even happened yet.


Time is something that is passing quickly. And we need to enjoy it while we can. I try to live by my motto.

Life is short, Live it to the fullest. Laugh at it. Enjoy it. Value it.

I just feel that life and time go speeding by on its own time table, which is too qucikly. It seems like I just moved into my house in the last few months but it has been 14 years. It does not help that stores are making the march of time even quicker. I think I would like to enjoy summer for a short time before I move into fall (football, cool weather, and college). Ok I was dreaming about my favorite season. Lets focus on summer. Trips to the lake, vacations to fun places (disney world or Savannah, Ga), no school, staying up late, sleeping late, summer movies, picnics, homemake ice cream, baseball. I want to slow down a bit but will the marketing world let me?

I know that time marches on. I just want it to be a slower march. So what is the rest of the story? I looked at the fall leaves and decided to buy mine in September. If there are any left, then I was meant to have them. And by then all that stuff will be on clearance in order to get ready for Easter.
