LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG DAY

 

     


  Today was the second day we’ve returned to regular time. It has been, just like yesterday, the loooooooooooooooooooooongest day. I don’t know why the time seems to crawl immediately after daylight savings time goes away, but it does. I’m sure I’ll adjust eventually, but I really hate looking at my watch to find out it’s barely after noon when it feels much later.

          And it’s barely 5:00 pm and it’s dark outside already. How/when did that happen? It seems like it was light until well after 6:00 pm just last week. I don’t much like the darkness arriving so much earlier either.

          Whine, whine, whine. I would think that having time slow down and the days becoming shorter would be considered a benefit by an old person like me. I know I’ve lamented how fast time is going in the past, so why aren’t I just sitting back and enjoying the fact the days seem so loooooooooooooooooooong?

          I honestly don’t know. I think I’m dwelling on the negative a bit too much rather than embracing the positive. Need to stand back and re-evaluate how I’m choosing to feel…maybe tomorrow.
