I can remember being a little girl in school watching the clock on the wall tick by as if it were running in slow motion. The school day seemed to last forever. But it wasn’t just the school day. I always seemed to have a lot of time to play and do homework after school, and with dinner time with family lasting a good while as well, the days somehow felt long.
These days, with a family of my own, I’m running from here to there, managing many small details, and the days seem to zoom by. Often it feels like the day’s wrapping up shortly after getting started.
