Do you find time slips away

I moved over 100 miles to the north west 5 years ago and since then time flies by . I wake every morning at 5am as I have to start taking my tablets then next thing I know it's 7 and time to get up. My life has always worked because of planning and routine . I was born disabled but didn't find out my diagnosis until April 2022 aged 63 also found out in 2020 also born with a small hole in the side of my heart. Unfortunately it was my fit healthy husband died in 2004 aged 47. He made me keep a series of promises and the main one was live the best life I can and since my move I do.

Never had such an active social life since my move ,better healthcare, wonderful neighbours,true friends,see my daughter and family every week . And best of all I found me again . The rage and anger I feel over my fit healthy husband dieing gets me through everyday. And I am happy even my son estranging me 4 years ago and not seeing my 3 grandson's is nothing compared to my daily grief over my husband.

We have one life and no matter what it throws at you have to keep fighting . I am going to grow old disgracefully 🤣 . And do everything I want to do as long as I can before my body stops me . I am 66 now but in my head 50 but then again I am healthier and fitter now than I was at 50.

Only 2 certainties in life we are born we die. The rest is up to us. As Mr Spock would say live long and prosper. 🖖

BigBopper. I loved reading that. You were certainly blessed.
Yes if only 2 lives. This one is going too quickly.

I remember being 14 years old in the 1950's and wishing I was 15 so I could leave school and start working. I really enjoyed my young years and being a teenager in the late 50's and early 60's was fantastic but when I met my boyfriend who became my husband of 50 years that was the most magical time of my life. Sadly he died many years ago but I cannot believe where the time has gone.

I look back and can remember everything about my teenage years and our lives together but sometimes when looking at photos of us when we were teenagers it seems as if I am looking at someone elses lives, were we ever that young. I can still remember the excitement of seeing him jumping off the bus and running to me and kissing me when we had our dates. He looked just like a pop star from the Liverpool sound in the 60's, white shirt, dark tie, dark suit and Chelsea boots. Someone once said he looked like a member of the Searchers group. He was 6 ft 4 ins tall, and handsome, god I loved him. Even now I walk past a photo of us in the 60's and I get butterflies in my stomach. I wish we all had two lives so we could do it all over again.

It doesn’t help that shops trim up months in advance for seasonal events. Tkmaxx Halloween items on display mid August 🙄

Yes. Since I'turned 60 time has flown, really flown! When I was young waiting for the weekend, holidays, Christmas was agony. Then it sort of steadied off and reached a level that felt just about right. Now the days just run into one as if someone has pressed "fast forward". I want to know why.

AGAA4

I wake quite early with the whole day ahead. It seems no time till I'm getting ready for bed with not a huge amount done.

😂
Ah well, the main thing is that time doesn’t hang heavy.

I find busy days fly by. Quiet days less so.

Same here, takes me all day to complete tasks I used to do in a couple of hours. I have to take frequent rests as well, I really only mean to read one chapter but often becomes three or four.

Oh gosh yes! In spite of what I'm doing in the home or outside of it the day whizzes past

Yes, the only way I can keep up with household tasks these days is to have certain days for completing certain jobs like my mother did, the days of blitzing through the housework in one day or two half days are well behind me.

Yes, especially since Covid- all those years gone in a flash- if kier Starma had his way, we would have been in lockdown forever

I find that Time passes faster full.stop...the days, the months the years

I feel exactly the same Travelsafar. There just doesn’t seem time to fit everything in. Like you things take me much longer and I have to take frequent rests. Today will be one long rest as I went on an outing yesterday that took more energy than I had bargained for.

Time flies as they say. It sure does. I'm still about 23 mentally.

As a child that wait until Christmas was a nightmare. Opening the advent calendar. Every day felt like a week!

Only since I discovered Gransnet🫢
