That's SO VERY TRUE!!!  I can still remember when I was young wishing to be older. 😞

Time speeding up is mentioned in the Bible so anyone familiar with the scriptures isn't surprised by this phenomenon.

@cheriere   Exactly.  I remember when I was in high school & I couldn't wait for Friday to come & enjoy the weekend.  My dad would always say, Don't wish your life away.  I understand that now, albeit a little too late.

Looking forward to a very good 2024 with family, friends, neighbors, and all of you! (friends also)!

Or even on a cruder note, like a roll of toilet paper, The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.  LOL

I was told the same thing. I'd give anything if I could go back in time with all the knowledge I have now.  Why is it that by the time we realize this our life is half over? 😞

It went...away.

I seem to be more behind this year.

My husband was away for 11 days and came home, sick. He still is sick and he came home earlier this week. And then my brother came early this year, for his holiday visit. So the laundry is piling up, Christmas cards are not sent, dishes piling up - the list goes on and on. I keep running out to the stores but already have quite a list of food we need. My to do list keeps growing.

Don't know how i did it when i worked 79.50 hours a week and had both brothers and families staying at my house for the holidays.

And Christmas is next week.
