Friday John Ku – AKA – TGIF

~ John W. Howell

Thank God its FridayFriday is upon us with the fleetness of a gazelle. At least, it seems that way. For us old folks me sitting at home writing our my hearts out, the days move way too fast. I know, I know not much sympathy from you younger folks who need to get up and head out the door to some other place of employment. I have to imagine that unless your job entails standing on your head, the days have to move pretty quickly as well.

I was on the phone with my uncle who is 92 and he mentioned how quickly he felt his life passed. He says he has no regrets and that he lived a full life but is still amazed at how fast it went.

I suppose this is another lesson in taking the time to enjoy what you are doing since before you know it that time may be gone. Today’s John Ku talks about appreciation. I hope you enjoy it.

Smelling the roses,

Is said to enhance one’s life. . .

Make it once a day.

  3. I’ve heard people mention that life goes too fast. Funny how some moments never end and others are gone in a blink. Some days it makes me wonder if the concept of time is more flexible and illusionary than we believe.

      1. I think about it a lot too. Mostly if there’s enough time to get everything done and if I wasted too much of it. Hope your time isn’t running out too quickly and you have plenty of roses to smell. Just be careful around the ones that buzz. Learned that lesson the hard way.

  4. Excellent Friday Johnku! I do try to be mindful every day, pause and watch hawks flying overhead or admire the blossoming trees now that spring is here. It’s good therapy too 🙂 Have a wonderful weekend, John!

  7. Love your Johnku today — and couldn’t help chuckling at the goggled dog! Your uncle has a great attitude — perhaps that’s why he’s still among the living. To approach each new day with optimism, interest, and enthusiasm sounds like a perfect formula for a happy life!

  8. The image reminds me of our dog John. She goes out on a windy day, and she totally forgets about the “business” at hand. She sticks her nose into the wind and she just sniffs everything…from everywhere.

  12. Great advice from your uncle. Time flies when one has fun … then again, seems to drag on when anticipating. Life was racing as Then again … time flies like an arrow but fruit flies like a banana.
