Time Keeps Things From Happening All At Once

Sometimes I wish I could slow down the time - to embrace the moment. Other times I wish I could skip certain moments - they are a waste of my time. Unfortunately, my life is no film of which I can skip chapters or experience moments over and over again. I can't reverse it to create some funny scenes, or to play it in slow motion. Bummer.

On the other hand, when I am old and sitting in my chair next to a Geranium, I want to look back on my life and be able to think; " Yes, my life was good the way  it was. Even those sad or boring moments were fine the way they were. Without them I would never have had the time to regain energy for all those other moments. I might not have lived life to the fullest, and I might have made some stupid mistakes, but so be it. I lived my life that way, and I think I did just fine. "

In that case am I not thinking about the fact that there are loads of other people who are perfectly capable of ruining my life, and that I might not become old, for some reason. It's just the thought that everything will be all right that counts.
