Always lovely poetry for sure and perhaps it is when I reach this point and read the other comments too. Anyway, just wanted to say thank you and I enjoy visiting here. :)Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18367327961235142473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259513454241506815.post-23568676849941345992009-08-12T08:54:01.055-07:002009-08-12T08:54:01.055-07:00Ah Cait, so much resonance for me here....I have b...Ah Cait, so much resonance for me here....I have been dwelling on time a lot this year and feeling quite melancholic about the way it speeds by, leaving me quite bereft. My garden too is a jungle, if that is any comfort....<br />I rather wish I had a 'proper' job so I could also have 'free' time...working from home and being freelance so muddies the water.Exmoorjanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09230395732150659356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259513454241506815.post-59213172268473293372009-08-11T03:49:56.620-07:002009-08-11T03:49:56.620-07:00I only know that time passes quickly when you'...I only know that time passes quickly when you're happy and slowly when you're sad - thank God I'm happy most of the time.

I know what needs to be done, and if I feel like doing it, I will do it. If not... it can wait. The world won't stop revolving, life won't come to a standstill if I leave the laundry until tomorrow, when we are promised sunshine and fresh air to dry it, rather than drizzle like we have today. I go with the mood, I do what I feel like doing. Often, for health reasons, I am too exhausted or sickly feeling to do much, and that is why I no longer worry about things that may need doing but won't come to any harm if I let them wait. It's letting go... it's being less controlling... it is a privilege of getting older, and having no responsibilities.pinkfairygranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09497901949136714254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259513454241506815.post-48488881724774714122009-08-10T06:02:02.931-07:002009-08-10T06:02:02.931-07:00A lovely time piece, Cait.

Much of what you have written matches my own recent thoughts.<br /><br />I returned to work yesterday, after a week's break. Having that week's time to myself was sublime.<br /><br />I now am yearning for another helping of that freedom! Best wishes to you on your return to the library. xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.com
