Time capsule by josephfromabove at 8/17/2012 8:51:38 PM I often think about Jim Croce's Time in a bottle. I remember when I was in school, and I sat in class and the seconds seemed to be eternal, and the day was slow, and The urge to be home was great. I missed my dog, and loved to play with him. Now that I have had children, wife, and grand children who are 450 miles away now, the days seem to be a blur of actions, that seem micro-seconds long, it seems like I just awoke a few minutes ago when I have been awake since 6 this morning. Only the memories make a time capsule that will endure, but I am still ready to make plenty more, if I can get these days to slow down a bit.

kona_queen1	8/17/2012 9:00:48 PM so true Joseph...20yrs ago seems like a moment in time..makes me worry about how the next 20yrs will fly by.
josephfromabove	8/17/2012 9:02:34 PM Decent of you to stop by ladies, Roxie, Ann, now how do you slow it down?
sireena	8/17/2012 9:04:20 PM I don't think we can. I feel it most when I look at my kids...seems like yesterday they were cradled in my arms and now they stand a foot over my head!!!
josephfromabove	8/17/2012 9:08:44 PM As long as they are not standing 6 feet over your head placing flowers in a bronze vase you will do well. I want to be with my grandchildren so I can see the world anew through their eyes. That is the key.

josephfromabove	8/17/2012 9:22:31 PM Sweet dreams ladies, this old fart is going to bed.
lkavour92	8/20/2012 9:45:01 AM I have this feeling at times, a sort of dreamstate, where I am standing on a trainplatform and the "train of life goes by" I can see glimpses of people on the train, people from my life, but it doesn't stop at the station just keeps on going and I am still on the platfor watching it speed by unable to board and unable to get it to slow down or stop for me....
