thanks for this Kristine, my struggles with time are still the same, years ago I decided that I would take time and do as I may, spend it on me and my likes and desires. Well, that only works if you are super organized and efficient, and if you're not..........one ends up paying for it, in one embarrassing occasion after another.
eg: a person comes to visit when the house is a total mess and you've spent the whole morning reading a fantastic book of literary importance. Said person could care less about the book but horrified that you are such a slob!!!
Such a lovely read, Kristine, as I’m awake at 330am and wondering what to do with my “found” time. Of course, the irony is that time is not found…just as it is not lost. It is simply there, marching along as you noted-with not a single care of our incessant attempts to romance it, negotiate with it, and, in desperation, control it. But I digress…this is my introduction to Wuzzles & Snippets (not sure what took me so long…didn’t have the time, perhaps?) and I’m delighted! Looking forward to more! ☺️
I too often think the thing I wrote at the last minute is brilliant. I'm not sure I'm yet ready to admit they barely make the grade though. Denial isn't just a river in Egypt! (Also apologies for being late reading this... time got away from me.)
Ah yes, this is so very relatable. Whenever we talk about what superpowers we would choose for ourselves mine is invariably to freeze time. I also need extra hours in my day. Not just to get all the necessities done, one day I will have that long relaxing soak in my tub. Maybe Friday 😉
It’s just so nice to have had teachers who (whom?), you remember and cherish for a lifetime. I had and have a couple that I will always be grateful for 💚

Loved your piece and Mr. Marland!!

Mr. Marland would be proud - writing is one of your many gifts and so excited to see you sharing this part of yourself :)

Soaking in the tub needs to be at the top of the list!
