time flys

The months go by so fast ! We got home from snowbirding on Oct 1 - which feels like it was yesterday - and already it is Nov1. Being that our lives are now cut into these 2 large segments - winter in Fl and summer in Pa - I think it feels like the time goes even faster. We only stay in Fl. 8 months and one is gone already, but, of course , there is a ton of things to do as soon as we get back home so it's a much busier than normal time. My mother always said as we get older time seems to go by much faster, like your skidding downhill and can't stop yourself from going faster and faster.

I can't believe it is Nov. 1 already. We have beautiful unseasonably warm weather here today and it is supposed to reach the 70s next week (Midwest). So I don't feel like it is November at all!

I totally agree with the days, weeks, and months passing so quickly. It will soon be 4 years since my knee surgery, then came retirement, and I feel like I have blinked a few times, then opened my eyes to find myself near the end of 2015! When I worked, those 8 hour shifts seemed so long, but now the days are gone before I know it.

I heard someone say recently that as you get older, the days go by slowly, but the years go by fast. What do you all think about that?

Not so in my case ... it seems I just started my day and already it's nearing dark ... I can't believe how the time is flying by ... both days and years!

Yes, I can't believe fifteen years has flown by so quickly (well, 'quick', although 'quickly' sounds better).

I agree, seems like just yesterday I got the deck all set up for summer, now it's back to putting everything back & protected for the Winter, but we (here in Chi-Town) will be having Indian Summer, 70's predicted, so I'll take it

Can't say I agree with that. It all seems to fly by to me, lol. I suppose the idea of the days going by slowly might be true for someone who retires and then just spends the days at home. That's not the case for me - I'd go crazy! I stay very involved with life outside of the house and my days go by just as fast as the years do. I distinctly remember my grandfather saying the same thing about time passing quicker the older you get, and how he didn't feel any older inside!

I told my DH that I feel like I'm going to go to bed some night when I'm 66 and when i wake up I'll be 90. It's sorta scary how fast it all goes now. I always have in my mind a friend when we used to camp on Lake Erie,she was in her early 80's and she told me to enjoy and remember these years in my 60's after retirement because they will be one of the best times in my life, while I can still have a good time but don't have to be stressed out with a job.
