Time flies or Time drags

We all know time is relative .. it depends so much on what you are feeling at the moment.  If it is good, it flies by - like when you are having a blast while on vacation.  And if it was not good, it drags - like when you are counting the minutes to the weekend (assuming you have to work like most people).  But when you are in love or truly enjoying your time with someone you love - that time can come to an almost complete standstill if not a standstill all together. So, ... anyway ...

What was I thinking of when I started this entry? Oh yes .. it has been a week exactly since I got back from my personal retreat to Cambodia.  One whole week exactly.  And has the time flown by or dragged on and on?

Well, considering I have been trying to recover from a bout of "ill health" since the very moment I got back, one would think time has been dragging (since that recovery thing is not a "good thing"). However, surprisingly it feels like time just flew by like in the blink of an eye.  How amazing? Does it mean I am enjoying myself?

Judging by how time flew by, I guess I will have to say - the week has not been bad at all.  I have often said to people "I don't know how anyone can ever be bored."  Really. There is always so much to do - and 24 hours a day just doesn't seem enough.  Of course I think it helps a great deal (in terms of enjoying yourself) when you have no real time line and no pressure to get reports done, meet with black faces, wait for accusations or negative remarks. So daily there is no need to have to "wash away" all the dirt and grime we pick up from negative remarks and such.

And even though the week was spent with a considerable amount of focus on "recovery."  Yet recognizing and accepting that something is not quite right with the body-system may not always be a bad thing.  After all, the body is just another part of me trying to communicate a need of sorts.  So slowing down or stopping all together to take care of one's Self surely cannot be a bad thing.  The self reflection and paying attention to the needs of the body (and the soul) is nothing more than showing your care and concern for your own body (much like you would do for a friend).  And so - that must have been a good thing.


So - again I have to be cognizant of the fact that I am blessed in so many ways.  I am thankful for so many wonders.  And indeed, it has been a good week. I am glad to be "home" for the moment.

Keep your mind focused on the good and the wonderful.  Remember there is always a silver lining in every dark cloud.  Not all days will be perfect - there will be "good" days, and there will be "bad" days - but God is in All Days (and nights too).  So be at peace and enjoy your time.

Peace out.
