The Weird Thing About Time

Tomorrow will mark two months into my year of doing and blogging. Odd how a year seems like such a long time and yet time feels like it goes by so quickly. The one thing I'm learning about this 50 thing challenge is how much impact real life has on the best of your intentions.

I know I'm going to have some serious catching up to do-but I'm not as far behind as it appears on the challenge, just on updating the lists. I know, I know.

On the positive side, I completed a nearly 1500 word short story and beat the contest deadline by a day! And this was while hosting Thanksgiving dinner for eleven people, cooking, cleaning, shopping.

They have about 6 weeks to judge the contest, which is a long time to wait. See what I mean about time? It works both for and against you. It goes by at the same speed, sixty seconds in a minute, sixty minutes in an hour, etc. It is just our perception that varies. I have an hour before I have to leave for work, and I guarantee you it will go by too fast.

  1. Congratulations on the short story. That is quite an accomplishment. Good luck to you on that. As for time, I swear the world is spinning faster than when I was younger. Now I merely blink and it is November. Next thing you know it will be December.
