When I started working at the stadium they didn't allow us to wear watches. I stopped wearing one.

I don't believe I wasre time...I dream of all the things that I have done, the people I have and still do love. Wiley said in surprise It's Monday...it was but I told him tomorrow will be Friday. We both laughed Yesterday for another week had flown by who knows where. Enjoy these precious moments, and do exactly what you want.

We are getting what I hope is the last blast of winter.

I used to get in trouble in school for drifting off into daydreams
watching a bird out the window or just the leaves moving in the breeze, often my mind would vacation somewhere, exploring places I've never gone... Now I realize this is a gift and perfectly natural to me, and not a 'problem'.

Yes time can drag if there is no escape Taps . One man's cow pat is another man's fly blow. Well one tries to be discreet.

Re: Krisles
I really enjoyed your "yammering". When my mother went through that "staring out the window" stage, I worried. I thought she was depressed, or worried, or giving up or something. I used to try to get her interested in something--tried to find TV programs she would be interested in. Now, I realize that it was all pretty normal for her. She didn't need to be "entertained" all the time. Now my sons are falling into that with me. They do not understand, like I didn't understand, that I don't want constand entertainment.

I wear a FitbitHR and I have to punch a button to see the time. When I'm not working, just hanging out like I am now, I have a somewhat ambivalent relationship with time...... I hate that I have to sleep, always have...only now, I actually want desperately to go to sleep but have spells when insomnia strikes - but, I always viewed it as a waste of time. I am a nightowl by nature, as you are, and so when I do sleep it is usually to awake mid-morning....and I find that I fret that the day is flying by and I want to grab it like a sliding blanket. And yet, I spent hours each day just sitting on the patio (it was 90 around here today!), book ignored, just listening to the birds and just 'being'. I do the same thing inside, staring out the window....and that is the thought I have when I am in the meditative mood like yours is tonight - memories of my grandmother staring out the window, lost in her reminiscing....then watching my mom do the same thing, newspaper forgotten in her lap, as she stared out the window....the same window that I now find myself often just sitting, lost in thought, staring out at ....what? At time, I guess. Enjoyed the post...didn't mean to yammer so long...just really related.

A particularly poignant write. I especially enjoyed the quote. I am one of those who have nearly no sense of time. I wear a watch but rarely look at it. LOL!
