Whoa! Just like that, another season has rushed by. Where did it go? Who put our world on fast forward?
Everywhere you turn, someone is marveling at how quickly the time goes by. You wake up and barely get going, when it’s lunchtime and the afternoon is here. Blink and the day is over. There is even a magazine called Fast Forward.
What is this new warp speed getting us? No doubt, we are accomplishing more . . . producing more . . . adding more to our pocketbook. But if we’re not . . . does it make any sense for time to move this fast? We don’t seem to have the ability to slow it down, so I guess we’ll just go with it.
Just be sure that your fast day includes kind words . . . gestures of love . . . hugs and smiles. Even if you have to give them as you dash past in your virtual running shoes. And when you go to measure how you made the world a better place today, don’t put the tape around your middle . . . or your pocketbook.
Put it around your heart. If it’s full and you’ve had laughter and joy today, if you have shared with someone and made them feel good, you’re doing just fine in your fast forward world.

I love this image — a measuring tape around your heart! So true!
I’m reminded of the wonderful Lewis Carrol expression from Alice in Wonderland, “The hurrieder I go, the behinder I get”
Ah yes. Alice would live well in the world today where everything seems upside down to the values so long held in this country Thanks for your comment, Elizabeth.
