Pondering With a Purpose

Thursday again! Time to do a little "pondering" with Brenda from Ponderings of an Author.


Her rules are really easy:

1. Grab the Pondering with a Purpose Badge (in her sidebar)
2. Look at the week's prompt
3. Post something on your blog that relates to the prompt - it can be a story, a poem, a picture -- anything you want it to be.
4. Go back here and add the URL from your post to the linky list on Brenda's.
5. Go check out the other bloggers who have added their links to the list.
6. AND most of all.... Have fun!

This Week's prompt:               time
Oh, if I could only slow time down! I've written about it before - the fact that time has just crept up on me. How did I get to be this old? How can my daughter be 29? Doesn't seem possible - didn't I just have her yesterday? That sweet little bundle in my arms....and now she's expecting. Where did it go, this TIME? And why don't I feel OLD? Why don't I act like my grandmother? Do I act like my grandmother? It feels like I should be 20 or so.

My grandson is 10 months old -  how is that possible? I don't know. It sure feels like it's flying by.

  1. Do we have to act our age? I may also be a grandmother but I have the heart of a 20 year old. Not my fault the body is 61.

  2. Love this... why don't I feel old either? A grandmother... I sure hope I don't act like mine or my own mother to my children..... I think that babies are a bundle of joy to be absorbed, loved, and learned from.....
    I do so agree with you... when did I cross the half way point, and why don't I feel like it? I still have vivid memories of my 20s and I still feel like that.

    Thanks for pondering with me!

    1. What a nicely written post. I love the sentiment.

  3. I think we would all like to turn back the hands of time.

  4. Some days....I feel old. LOL
    but on the whole: it's all good.
    I find the days I seem to ponder how time has flown by, are perhaps the days when I am not really engaged in the moment. or perhaps I am focusing on some regrets, instead of being focused on possibilities. Yet, time can also fly right by when we are enjoying moments for what they are.
    It's very vexing, this time thing.

  5. If we don't go by chronlogical age I am still in my 20's. I am not a grandmother and great grandmother!! In my mind I am so young and dancing my way down the market aisles with my children, teaching them how to dust furniture listening to the Bee Gees. :)
