If you could slow down an action that usually zooms by, or speed up an event that normally drags on, which would you choose, and why?

There are so many life events, and chapters of my life I would want to extend just a little more time. My list would include my childhood, teenage years, my first love, sex with my first love, watching my children grow and of course this time in my retirement life.

Now, there are so many things in life. I would want to shorten or sped through. This has my mind recalling a 2006 movie, by Adam Sandler call “Click”, where the Sandler character was given the opportunity to speed through life’s boring parts an and extend the those parts he likes to savor.

The reason, those so call boring or not so pleasant portions of our lives are there, is to allow us all to appreciate the glorious times with family, friends, and basically teaches me and many others to enjoy the moment, because you never know when this current time will be taken away.

    That’s a perfectly stated perspective. Life is precious and it’s through these “mundane” moments, where we can experience appreciation and gratitude for time with loved ones. Great post

    In our younger days, speed and extent of coverage matters; in maturer days, being slow and savoring the simple pleasures in life tends to get better priority.
