Is Time Flying ?

QVCkitty1 — Tue, 16 Dec 2025 19:48:56 GMT

I know it is a cliche ,but doesn't it seem like Dec. is going by at breakneck speed ? I was making a grocery list and figuring out when to schedule my delivery, and the actual date kind of shocked me . It seemed like the holiday was weeks away ,and it is not. Jokes on me. It's a good thing I'm not over scheduled like in my younger days, or I would be in trouble.

yeah, I'm with ya @QVCkitty1 "Time is definitely flying by!! Big time!" Even seemingly much faster then the last time I realized, and remarked this!

@QVCkitty1. The time between Thanksgiving and Christmas always fly by at warp speed. Then we arrive at January which seems to go on forever.

I always feel once Halloween hits, the rest of the holidays just fly by. But truth be told, it seems now the years just fly by in general. Kind of scary, really. 😣

Time flies by no matter what month or year it is, at least it does for me. I am always happy to see Fall arrive and that went by in a flash just as Christmas is doing. January will also go fast . When I was young I would always wish for time to move fast especially when summers came and I didn't have to go to school for two months!!!!! Now I wish time to slow down .

Indeed time does fly. I swear it was just yesterday that I was in my twenties, and yet here I am at 69!

At 63 and retired, this quote sums up how I feel a lot of times: "The days are long, but the years are short."

Yes rocket speed ahead for the last month or so. You wouldn't know it by the weather though here in metro Denver.

Mostly 60's for the next several days, no snow in sight, Christmas day they're forecasting 69 degrees.

Of course it is - things mentioned in scriptures are being fulfilled.

@QVCkitty1 time has been flying ever since I reached 50 years old over 2 decades ago.

It sure does seem so, more so when Thanksgiving is so late in the month. at least that's what I seem to notice in those years.

Yes, @QVCkitty1! I have a gift that I need to mail and I just have not gotten it done. I keep thinking there's time but I suddenly need to get on it. Tomorrow for sure! I need to wrap our gifts too. Another job for tomorrow.

Yes, time is flying! When my children were still young and they started saying time was flying; I knew it really was! 😝

How come time doesn't fly while I'm at work? 🤔

@rockygems123 Wow, you must live in a warm place. I could take that. I do like snow for Christmas, but then it could go back to 70 deg and sun........in my dreams!!

As fast as Winter/Holiday time often speeds by, seems so much is happening now, at breaking speed, at so many places, & on so many fronts, & levels, in that now, it's even more, everywhere, & includes so much more than the usual "Holiday Times, " News, & incl provider, services offering speed, span & expanse.

Even dealing with addt'l profound, unexpected, extreme weather/temp changes, concurrently!! Almost numbing.

I can neither keep track of, or even keep score!

Even when I manage to jump on, I just get dizzy, PDQ!

Feels like trying to jump on a very, very, already, beyond Speeding By, beyond Speeding Past, "Merry-go-Round."

I'm still dealing with my "very soon to forever dodge/escape," 24+ yr Medical Doc/Specialist issue, made worse even just late today, when his Clerk suddenly snatched, & became hostile this afternoon!

And, I just rec'd an email Invite/Reminder from my Tax Atty, to start the process of 2025 Tax Prep even!! Like how? I havent even rec'd the requisite forms you need yet!

Honesty, I havent figured out how to handle any/all of this yet.

My husband and I discuss this often. I often say once Memorial Day happens it's all downhill the rest of the year. As well sit here with about 2 weeks left in 2025. Kind of crazy. He says the older you get your reference for time changes. I hate the time between January and May....just drags on.

@monicakm it was very chilly here in Florida Monday morning and even last night. I think you are on the gulf side where I am Central Florida.

I don't like it one bit. I'm retired and I stay home most of the time yet I can't seem to find enough hours in the day to get things done. I get up early and still the clock runs too fast. Before my chores are done it's bedtime already. What is up with that?

@Patriot3

We are up against the foothills as close as you can get to the Rocky Mountains and it's tropical ha!

Normally that's how it can be here, snow then next day bright sunny day it's beautiful.

Was shocked when we moved here 27 yrs ago guys were out in their shorts 35 degrees. Something to do with the altitude.

I just Googled Christmas Day temp, it's 73

@monicakm

Wow so far from the norm. Usually about 30 degrees less.

This has been fun though. Lots of my friends golfing and enjoying the bright sunshine.

Just thought about it for a sec, 73 here or where you are?

Unbelievable either way
