About a month ago I bought one of those daily devotional books at Borders for next to nothing as they were going out of business. This book is not religeous in nature, instead it is one of those books with short essays on a myriad of subjects. This one has a daily entry which ranges on a topics across a broad array of the cultural spectrum. Thus art, pop culture, authors, musicians, and entertainers are given a one page blurb for each day.
Each night I read an entry when I get in bed. Each night I marvel at how it seems like I just did this. Doing the same thing once a day at the same time of day ( in circumstance if not exact time) will make you feel like the days are racing by.
My Dad told me when I was young that when you get to be in your forties and fifties the days fly by. He was right. I read that this was because memories and experiences that we remember slow down time. When you are young each day of summer is a blank slate and hopefully many exciting things happen. Thus time slows. When we get older and go to work and do the same basic things each day it can be hard to differentiate the days.
Reading this book I feel old getting older. Maybe I should read it at different times of the day.
