Time waits For no one.

You will treasure it even more when
you can share it with someone special.

Thanks for the gentle nudge Josh! What a great reminder as to what "time" really is......breaking it down into so many related incidents sure makes one think. I've lived the "nine month" one.......it was many years ago.......but "time" helps erase horrible moments in our lives and replaces them with gentle memories...........p

I seem to have a different concept of time. Dividing the day up evenly in different lengths doesn't, at least seem how people think about it...

8 three hour periods in a day.
6 four hour periods in a day.
4 six hour periods in a day.
3 eight hour periods in a day.

Also, the late night and overnight hours seem to go by faster than the morning and afternoon hours, respectively.
