Tick tack tick tack tick tack tick tack….

Where does the time go? In today's society, we constantly hear things like "I can not make it" and "unfortunately I can not follow, I’m in a hurry." And how often have we heard anyone say that it wanted the days had more hours. I am one of those who feel that the days were sometimes too few hours. I feel that the time just flies away, I can not do what I thought and the clock is ticking on. Tick tack tick tack.

It is not often we have time for spontaneous visits, trips or other things that not are written down in our well stocked calendars. If something unexpected suddenly turn up fails the entire planning, and there is considerable risk that it will be a "bad day" because we have not had time for everything we intended to do.

One might well wonder what makes that we have no time for various spontaneous things. A contributing factor is that we work more and more. Most people are in their jobs long into the afternoon. Once they are home they are tired and hungry. After some food and a short rest, it is soon evening and for those with family, this is the only time to socialize with them. The days just roll on.

I am sure that all have ever wished that the day would include a few more hours, or for that matter, that we would not need to sleep as much. Imagine how much more you could do if you did not need sleep! If the days had more hours or if someone invented a pill that made it possible to skip sleep I better catch up with my little son, my dog and my house. I had been able to work more hours and I had also passed by this English course gallant. Not to forget that it always would be clean and smelling freshly baked buns in the kitchen.

But unfortunately we can not do something about this time phenomenon. And the consequence of that we do not have hours to be sufficient are diseases such as gastric catarrh, and migraine. And we all recognize the expression "going into the wall".

I wonder by the way if it is not so that an hour today is less than what they were 100 years ago. Perhaps it is someone who reduces the hours of 1 second or 1 minute each year. Sure, it feels so! You can only remember how your early summer holidays felt like an eternity.

So to summarize, so we live in a society of stress. We can not find time to all we want to do and the consequence of this is in the worst case that people get sick. Can we do something about it? Of course we can! Rush down, take it easy. Just do things you want to do and most importantly, spend much time with those you love. You are going to be happy of that!
