This Thing Called Time
Honestly, it’s just crazy! The older I get, the faster life seems to run. I thought that it would slow down a little as the kids got older. I figured that not having to run after little ones would afford me a little more time and freedom. Although this is true in some respects, it just seems that life has picked up a velocity that keeps churning, spinning and pushing me to the brink of exhaustion.
The beautiful balmy breeze in South Florida and brilliant sunshine taunt me as I yearn to spend a lazy day at the beach. Scratch that. Did I say “day”? I really meant at least a month. Heck, I’ll take a day-who am I kidding? I KNOW I’m not the only one who feels this way, right?
Several years ago I asked a friend’s mother a question as I pondered this same dilemma that was plaguing me back then. She must have been in her mid 70’s when I asked her a series of probing questions concerning this warp speed that my life had taken on.
“WHEN-Please tell me when this will slow down? Will it slow down? Does it ever slow down?” I’ll never forget her response. She looked at me through her thick glasses and said, “Oh yes, dear. It does slow down. After the grandchildren are all grown up, it starts to slow down a bit.”
REALLY?

Esther Hastings, EA~ Just My Opinions Here!
This website is a little glimpse of ME! Esther Hastings, EA~ Just My Opinions here and the way I view things. (OK~I'll also talk about our ever changing tax rules!) Some postings will be inspirational. With others, you may see the more cynical side of my human nature. If I'm not careful, you may collide with my sense of humor. Those that know me well have been known to cry (with me) at the hysterical things in life that happen to us. I will attempt to be the 'genuine me' on these pages. To connect with each of you. To be transparent. The good, bad, ugly and the beautiful! After all, it's what we do Between Death and Taxes~ L-I-V-E!

Truth is time never slows down. Of course we we all know that fact. Events are what we have to manage. When events in our lives increase at a rapid rate we fell like time is rushing. Truth is events are rushing. Take time to have time. Brakes on a car have a real value without them we will crash. Americans think that unless they are franticlly doing something they are not productive. Remeber the song , ” Slow down you move to fast, got to make the morning last.” BEACH for me!!
