60 min. seem like an forever, doesnt it? Not really. At 45, its a second. just a second. At 5 its eternity, at 13 its a lifetime, at 16 , hell could freeze before that 60 min is up. at 22...your starting to maybe see the benefit to 1 hour......just one hour. To a parent or a spouse, a daughter or a son, a sibling or a lover. maybe a friend who is sick....and many others 1 hour is a gift of just one more hour to be. be alive, be together, be free, be in love, watch as you grow........ i base most decisions on 24 hours. 24 of those 60 min. waits. I no longer make a quick decision, i try and fail.... but try, not to react within 24 hours to something that has wronged or hurt me. So much can happen in a day. When you are old enough to realize what can happen in a day you are also old enough to know what can change in a day, or an hour. Sometimes we may not even want to blink because that clock we are watching will soon take our children to their own homes and their own lives. Time...........its a tough measurement. Good, bad or indifferent.
Whatever is wrong i preach to my children; "wait 24 hours to respond, i promise and pray for you that not just one thing but two will be or feel different" Most times as they were younger they didnt understand so i would say " see the clock? when this hand is here and this hand is there......you will feel different" it was a game.
It still is, isnt it?
keep breathing
.........dont give up, dont give in......YOU are not done.
