SUNRISE - December 27, 2010

December 27, 2010 Sunrise 7:23 am

December 27, 2010 Dawn 7:06 am

They say that it is hard to form good habits and much easier to break them.  When I was in sports in high school and college, it was the same for getting in shape physically.  The shape I was in after three weeks of solid effort could be lost in three days of not maintaining the regimen. The same hold true for your mental being.  Watching the miracle of yet another day (in Paradise) unfolding before you compels you to consider the endless possibilities lying before you.

TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE

In the legal profession "time is of the essence" is a phrase often used in legally binding contracts  In effect, this says: the specified time and dates in this agreement are vital and mandatory, and "we mean it."  

Any delay, reasonable or not, will be grounds for canceling the agreement.


There is a saying that infers that "Your time is a gift from God.  What you decide to do with your time is your gift back to God."

Rarely would we start on an important journey without mapping it out in advance to make sure we didn't miss a turn anywhere along the way.  My analogy with each Sunrise is like the "map light" being switched on in your car so you can more clearly recheck today's destination and your purpose.

"Lack of direction, not lack of time, is the problem. We all have 24 hour days."

SUNRISE - December 26, 2010

December 26, 2010 Sunrise 7:22 am

I have already become the early riser (daughter with a 7:00 am orchestra practice start) and I am the designated caffeine re-fueler/lunch packer in this home.


I am pretty much always (is that self-canceling?) already up at Sunrise, but have not given it the attention it deserves and the meaning it contains in each of our lives.



Sunrise is a daily opportunity to commit to a "New Day's Resolution" - with is 365 times more effective that just on Jan. 1 each year.

Wikipedia: Time is a part of the measuring system used to sequence events, to compare the durations of events and the intervals between them, and to quantify rates of change such as the motions of objects.  Time has been a major subject of religion, philosophy, and science, but defining it in a non-controversial manner applicable to all fields of study has consistently eluded the greatest scholars.

 “Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you.” -  Carl Sandburg

Sunrise - December 25, 2010

December 25, 2010 Sunrise at 7:22 am

As the sands of time seem to be greater on the bottom half of my hourglass than on the top, I have had an increased interest in TIME and how I spend it.  

There is a finite number of sunrises available to each of us and I don't wish to miss very many of mine.  

Sunrise is that magical portion of our day when most dreams are still possible and the illusion of "enough" time to achieve them still exists.

 

"Time is free, but it's priceless. You can't own it, but you can use it. You can't keep it, but you can spend it. Once you've lost it, you can never get it back."  - Harvey Mackay
