How time flies…

It seems just like yesterday. Recollect how many times you have spoken those words. That is if you take the time to just sit back to dredge up the past, look back to see how far you’ve come in life, taking note of where you were then compared to now, you say how time flies…

It seems just like yesterday.  How long ago was it that you were born. And now, here you are. When you remember your days in school or wherever and it seemed it would never end that you would remain a child forever and now you have children of your own, your family, and you get to look at their antics, try to compare it with what you did back then and you say, how time flies…

It seems just like yesterday. When your heart suddenly felt like exploding when you first sighted that boy/girl. When your feet refused to transport you and your tongue went missing. When your head hung in the clouds after the result came in YES. When it appeared both of you were doing toothpaste advert walking down the aisle after the I do… it’s now several years past, the children have flown the coop and his/her sight still gives you the thrills (you must be blessed). You are back where you started, just the two of you and looking into each other’s eyes your heart says, how time flies…

It seems just like yesterday. When you felt you were nothing and you had nothing. When you toiled and scratched and struggled to make ends meet. When you saved and traded gradually building the empire that is now a global entity. You take your deserved rest from it all and look back and say, how time flies…

It seems just like yesterday. Back then when you had to go from street to street, trying to locate a house that is blessed with that big box that had humans inside doing all sorts and then you wonder how they get to feed and why they were black and white. Here you are today, watching DSTV on you mobile phone and able to chat with anyone, anywhere and at anytime and while chatting, you stop to remember that just a few years back, this was unimaginable and you say, how time flies…

All the above, is assuming you made something of your yesterday and you have arrived at a desirable today. The truth remains, if you find yourself in pleasurable and desirable circumstances you wish it to continue and it always appears short lived but if it were a bad time, the seconds drag for eternity before making minutes and the minutes take their time to reach the hour mark. Time is in slow motion and yet you are still able to look back at it all and say, how time flies…

The saying is true, that what humanity has in common and in equal measures is time, that is, irrespective of the number of days you may spend here on earth; our unit allocation of time is equal daily – 24 hrs. You decide how you spend your time and what you spend your time on. I like that saying that goes yesterday is gone, but today is a gift that is why it is called present and might I add, tomorrow never comes and truly, time flies…
