Slowing it all down, focusing directly on it at the time, seems to be the only way to really find the memories that should be yours.  If you aren&#8217;t checked in you aren&#8217;t really owning it, even if everyone around you is.<\/p>\n<p>People are what makes time worth it.  Avoiding time sucking selfish activities is essential to blissful moments to look back at.  Find your people and BE with them.  My husband and kids are top of my list for human beings worthy of my precious time; and I try hard to be a keeper of moments where they are concerned.  The best memories aren&#8217;t made but observed and allowed to happen.  When they arrive I am zealous about recording them in my heart and being thankful for them.  We all turn to ashes and it is always inopportune, so love with your time and the rest really does work itself out under that banner of love.<\/p>\n<p>As a Christian my value of time has been heightened and the clarity with which I can live is intense.  I have no time for regrets, guilt, grudges or unforgiveness; basically selfishness, as it ruins my time.  If I hold on to all that nasty time stealing stuff the present will lack memories worth hugging to my heart, my future will look nothing but heavy and my past lovely memories will eventually be drowned out by the bleak.  Christ is the expert in living free to enjoy TIME, hold to him and his teaching and watch how very magnificent your time will become!<\/p>\n<p>P.s. The more time you put at something the better it gets so season your family, your marriage, with quantity time and don&#8217;t worry about quality time.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">Other Time Posts<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/avoidingthesandyland.blogspot.com\/2009\/09\/flurty-little-post.html\">HERE<\/a><br \/>and<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/avoidingthesandyland.blogspot.com\/2010\/09\/little-things.html\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I am sure there are more in my archives, this is a favourite topic of mine since I realised it is natural for humans to waste time&#8230; sad but natural and often what comes naturally really needs to be retrained to what is healthy.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/chrysaliscom.blogspot.com\/search\/label\/Marriage%20Monday\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"First Monday of every month at Chrysalis\" src=\"http:\/\/i61.photobucket.com\/albums\/h79\/chrysaliscom\/AdmiringButterfly-1-4-1.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">TTFN<\/div>\n<p><\/center><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Flirting while snow gusts at us from off of the roof, it is amazing how fun time can be if you let it slow you down.)
