I meant to do betterā¦I had a planā¦Iād save ten minutes of sunshine every dayā¦just ten out of 780ā¦that shouldnāt be so hardā¦Iād put them in a bottleā¦it would glow all winterā¦and yetā¦here we areā¦the time for Saving Daylight is overā¦my bottle is emptyā¦and itās darkā¦
The sad thing about itā¦I donāt even remember spending those minutesā¦I must have squandered themā¦geezā¦letting them slip out of my clockā¦one at a timeā¦tick-tockā¦
Okayā¦not entirely trueā¦I do remember many sun shimmering momentsā¦some filled with things that I enjoyedā¦and othersā¦not so muchā¦it was an odd summerā¦spent recovering strength and staminaā¦with daily naps instead of bicycle ridesā¦
At first I complainedā¦whined most likelyā¦that I was wasting my summerā¦my time offā¦I didnāt feel like doing the things that I really wanted to doā¦
Berthaā¦gently explained that time is never wastedā¦it is always spent doing somethingā¦itās just that I miss out on what that something isā¦when Iām not paying attentionā¦when Iām not living in that momentā¦when Iām thinking about the next oneā¦or the one beforeā¦
She says itās not aboutā¦saving time for the futureā¦itās all about truly experiencing the moment Iām inā¦
Soā¦my sunshine bottle is emptyā¦Iām thinking about filling it with lightning bugsā¦Bertha just hit me on the head with a flashlightā¦geezā¦
