Where does the time go?

When I was younger, I remember my parents always saying how fast time flies by. I would look up at them and shrug it off because time for me at that age seemed to take forever. Whenever I was in school, sports practice or even certain family gatherings, time felt like it was at a standstill.

Fast forward a few years later until I was a junior in college. I remember it was during finals week for the fall semester and I was thinking to myself that I only have three more semesters to go and then I’ll be finished college – how exciting! After this thought actually processed through my mind, I realized that I only have three more semesters left of my college career! How could this be? I was just a senior in high school and now I’ll soon be a senior in college?  It wasn’t until this moment that I realized that my parents were right – time does fly!

In a blink of an eye I was graduating college and soon after I started working for The Chamber. A few days ago I received an email congratulating me on my first 90 days of work. I couldn’t believe that I have been working for more than three months when it only feels like I just started yesterday!

Knowing that time is out of our control and that we all never seem to have enough hours in a day, we should step back and look at the bigger picture: be thankful for the time that we do have and take advantage of it. Now that it’s the holiday season, spend as much time as you can with your friends and family and enjoy every second of it!

 

Time is free, but it’s priceless.You can’t own it, but you can use it. You can’t keep it, but you can spend it. Once you’ve lost it you can never get it back – Harvey MacKay
