It's about Time...Killing, Wasting, Buying, Selling, Turning Back...

Six of one, half...a dozen of the other, or half a year, as in about six months, give or take, as in give back an hour after taking it away in the spring...as in  going back to "Standard Time" from "Daylight Savings Time", as in "springing forward to summer time" and "falling back to winter time" in the UK, as in "now my watch that I refused to reset will be correct again, I won't have to compensate for about another six months" (kinda' like "I refuse to get a battery for my watch and it's still correct twice per day!"). 

Anything but...while we are ostensibly going back to "standard time", tracking time in general got a bit weird (nothing 'standard' about it) early in 2020 and proceeding for several months after, which is a major reason I started this blog. I asked you early in the pandemic how you were tracking/measuring time and am prompted, after this past weekend, to prompt you to reflect again over the past year or so...did you find it dragging on, at least early in the pandemic months or, did you, as you took the opportunity due to lack of other options previously ample in supply, to start cleaning out, cleaning up, catching up, which in turn seemed to make the clock run faster, as now started marking time by what you could accomplish rather than, "what do I do with myself?" And timely to ask, so what did you do with the extra hour which was added at 2AM yesterday morning? And how did you compensate last spring when you were robbed of it in the middle of the night, the wee hours of the morning? Hopefully enjoyed slumber which you parlayed into energy in the first place, and enjoyed the sunrise in the latter.

One out of Two: as in 'space and time', two abstract concepts humanity has been trying to measure, capture, conceptualize, which has captured some of the best and brightest minds, resulting in a multitude of equations we had to memorize in physics, astronomy, courses such as these, which all reached the inevitable conclusion that these two dimensions were around way before humanity ever arrived and will likely postdate each of our departure from this globe, on which we, psychologists in our science, also use to measure one's faculties, your 'orientation'..."time, place, person", and finally what good GPS' available for one's wrists include as data, for going into unchartered territories, or just to be sure you'll be on time for dinner.

One out of Three: as in the three precious, finite commodities we all have, which we seek to be good stewards of, lest we run out and, depending on where we are in life, we are likely to have more of one than another. Time, money, and energy, that is. How are your supplies and how are you utilizing each of these? Making good choices, I'm sure, after I've written so many times on these here.

Hold a grudge, don't budge: as in "my workplace is bad enough in switching up my shifts, which takes my body, my circadian rhythms about a month to catch up, I refuse to stay around where they keep switching these time zones twice a year"...as in Hawaii, most of Arizona, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Northern Mariana as well as the Virgin Islands...Nice...

"The times, they are a-changing": as in time and change waits for no one. Better get on it. 

In the mean TIME: 𝅘𝅥𝅮If I could turn back time...I'd take back those words

                                    ...If I could reach the stars, I'd give them all to you..."
