The Time Change


I have always been happy when spring arrives and soon after the time changes so it remains light later. I think I must be solar powered as I have always seemed to have tons of energy up to three hours after it gets hard dark. It doesn't matter if it gets dark at 5PM or 9PM. Three hours later I tend to slow down.

We turned our clocks forward in the wee small hours of the morning Sunday. Fantastic! I heard on the TV that sunset won't be until 7:5PM tonight.

I discovered something else about myself yesterday and today. After turning the clock forward I found myself looking at the clock at 6:30 in the morning and thinking, hmmm yesterday it was only 5:30AM and this somehow gave me permission to go back to sleep. In the afternoon I thought it is already 4PM I need to hurry and get my "have tos" done. I was no longer thinking, hmmm it was only 3PM yesterday at this time of day. When it became bedtime yesterday I thought, hmmm I have stayed up super late it is after 2 in the morning. Truth is I usually don't go to bed until midnight or one. My body was actually on schedule.

I have seen commercials saying, "A brain is a terrible thing to waste."

I realized today that my mind is awesome. It may not be the smartest or loaded with super intellect however it is creative and adjusts to circumstances in its own unique way. Over the years it has extrapolated most of the memories of moments that were less than terrific. It has an auto pilot switch that allows me to choose being happy most of the time.

I feel a little change around my edges as the days grow longer. I understand how my sons, family and friends noticed a difference in me when this metamorphous took place. If there is a light that shines within people then surely mine has gone from using a dimmer switch to full intensity (smile).

Wishing everyone a most excellent day.
