I'm a big fan of Erma Bombeck who was a wonderful humorist. I often think of what she would say on certain subjects and I'd start to giggle.
Here's a bit humor from her "Forever, Erma" book:
Time
It hangs heavy for the bored, eludes the busy, flies by for the young and runs out for the aged.
Time. We talk about it like it's a manufactured commodity that some can afford, others can't, some can reproduce, others waste.
We crave it. We curse it. We kill it. We abuse it.
Now that's something to think about, isn't it?!
These days I think I don't have enough time in the day, then at other times when I'm sitting in the doctor's office time seems to pass like dripping Molasses in the winter time.
But I must say, I'm glad I still have "time." How about you?

I LOVED her!
Erma Bombeck was great!! I must admit - the older I get - the more I realize that I'm running out of "time". Like the song says - "We talk about forever - but we've only got today." - so I think I'll sew today - LOL - ;))
It is something to think about. I am not sure how much time I have left but I want to make the most of it.
Ah yes, dear old Erma. I think I have read all of her books. I loved it when the local paper carried her column.
Time- I am happy to have some left, but I generally could use more.
Hubby and I were just saying the same thing about time yesterday. Not in-depth like Erma Bombeck, but how time flies faster as we age. Love what she wrote! Think I'd better quite wasting it.
Erma had some really wonderful quotes and this is one of my favourites I think.
I'm very glad to still have time, and I still do all those things to it!
