Changing Times
After yesterday, I am not the only one to realize that I had to change all my clocks to fit in with the peer pressure of standard time. If I didn't have to go to appointments, I would blissfully be an hour out of step from everyone around me.
Even the dog is being fed an hour later and she's unhappy about it. She will eventually get used to this time change and then in six months we will go through it again.
I think that the reason we are still in an unreasonable clock play is because of control. There really is no reason to keep jumping back and forward. The only excuse I hear is "think of the children."
Time change as we do it today is known for causing a lot of sleep exhaustion. How can you get a stable sleep schedule of you keep changing it? Plus I heard a long time ago (maybe a decade) that more heart attacks occur during this time. It could also be because we are heading into the holidays. I bet that the combination is a one-two attack on a few hearts.
I hit 60 this year. It feels like a number like any other except I looked into the mirror and realized there is finally some white in the edges of my hair and a few more wrinkles. Every thing sags just more.
In my mind I still see my body at 30. I used to look younger than my years and at 30 I was fit. Today I creak when I get up from the chair. Thankfully I don't hurt as much. It is not because I take any pain pills. I'm not allowed to use pain pills with my kidney issues. No, it is because I see a chiropractor and am very careful with my food.
I never thought that potatoes would be one of my unedible vegetables.
So I would like to see the clocks stay the same. I have enough change in my life as I age.
