All I need is time

If I had all the time in the world

I would frolic in the fountain of youth

Have a big bash for all my friends

And spend all of it with my best buddy by my side.

It's a strange thing, but when you are dreading something, and would give anything to slow down time, it has a disobliging habit of speeding up.  ~J.K. Rowling, "The Hungarian Horntail," Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, 2000

  1. Time - our most valued, non-renewable resource (so sad, but true!)

    Gizzy says hello to his pal Duke and I want you to give him a scratch behind the ears for me, please! He's such an adorable boy :-)

    Happy weekend!

  3. Time always goes by way too fast to enjoy all the fun things in life. I haven't heard that quote before but it's true. Also when you dread something you lose the enjoyment of what's currently happening.

  5. So why do things hurry up so fast - and how do we slow them down?

  6. Lovely post Ann! I think that Duke possibly has the right idea though. They say that to lose yourself in a snooze works better than the most expensive skin cream .... I think I'm with Duke .... a little bit of laze helps us through the days!! :)

  9. This is a very enjoyable post Ann. My family are off on holiday for two weeks. I will miss them and hope that time flies. While they will be hoping it slows down.

  14. I love that clock picture! I still have to play more with those textures I downloaded. I can't get mine to look like yours. My pictures end up all faded. I'll have to check out his tutorials.

  16. Your pooch is the PERFECT model! What a sidekick! And I love the texture treatment you did on the first photo - spectacular!

    I hear you on the "busy" part. Since I tasted sweet retirement, it is incredibly hard to get back into the working routine. Though I've been working pretty much non-stop for over a year now, I still haven't adjusted. I don't know how I got everything done when I was younger because everything sure isn't getting done now! LOL, such is life. You trade your soul and time for a little moola... {{{{hugs}}}}

  19. When I was young I didn't believe it when my mom and dad would say how fast time went by. Things would take forever. Now that I'm older and a mom time truly flies.
