I do know that Albert Einstein had some theory about the relativity of time. Not having a scientifically oriented mind, I really don’t know what he meant by that. However, as I am getting older and watching my parents get older, time does seem to be moving far more quickly than pleases me. I’m over half a century old myself and only just now really understand that I won’t get everything done in life that I once set out to do. My parents are close to 80 but more active than me. It is quite certain that they will be in the midst of some project or plans when their time comes to leave this earth.

What is the difference between spending time and wasting time? I once ruled my life with a Franklin Planner. Now I have very little I have to do – hardly anything I have to do unless I really want to.

I “spent” a lot of time the first half of my life. I enjoyed my accomplishments and was careful to never “waste” time with anything that lacked a goal or purpose. Yet I hardly remember any of these things.

I do remember taking my kids swimming and being too concerned about burning calories to just play with them. I remember the time I “wasted” just being with them, driving between this thing. That time passed all to quickly and was the best time ever spent.

Time is relative. I do not regret any of my accomplishments in this life. However, it is the time when I am just in the moment, fully aware, fully awake to it’s passing, that I am also the most connected to eternity.
