hmmm…..
Do we still need daylight savings time? There seems to be a debate as to whether it actually does much good any more. Used to be that farmers would have an extra hour of daylight to get their chores done but that is no longer much of a factor. We can flip a switch and get all the artificial daylight we need any hour of the day so a good argument can be made for abandoning the practice.
In effect, the turning back of our clocks each fall gives us an extra hour of time to spend doing whatever we would like to do. What would you do with an extra hour of time? If I had an extra hour of time to do whatever I chose to do, I think I would spend it with my daughter. We love to shop, so literally we would probably “spend” our time at the mall!
What would you do if you had an extra hour? Would you enjoy time with your family? Or would you choose to take a mini retreat, relaxing in the comfort of your own home or away in the mountains, on the river, at the lake? Would you take time to catch up on reading, or exercise or bill paying and grocery shopping?
It has been said that the most valuable commodity in the world is time. Every one of us on the planet, rich or poor, powerful or not has the same twenty-four hours each day. How we spend our time makes us who we are. How will you spend your time today?
hmmm…..
My grandpa, who was a farmer, said that daylight savings time never did him any good. The cows still wanted to be milked at the same time, whether the clock said 5am or 4am. *chuckle*
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment! I think your grandpa was right!
ReplyDeletean hour of retreat ! YES now that's the ticket. I did it this morning and it was absolutely heaven (or at least in this earthly being's comprehension of such things).
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful day, Clay!
