Daylight Savings Ends

Today we “fall back,” setting our clocks back an hour for the end of daylight savings time. It isn’t exactly a free hour—it’s an hour that you saved up back in March that you must now withdraw from that time bank. Wouldn’t it be great if we could collect interest on the time we save, gathering minutes as the months go by? But the only way to add to an hour is to get the most you can from each minute that you have.

How will you spend the hour that you have been saving all these months?

Stopwatch

Wouldn’t it be great if a stopwatch would actually stop and restart time, rather than just stopping and starting a timer? I’m afraid the closest we’ll ever be able to come to that fantasy is to learn to be fully present and alive in the moments that we are given.

If you could pause time for some bit of your life, what moment would you choose?
