Time Is So Fleeting

Author: siggy

Spring is now four weeks minus one day away.  Now it is cold and snow still lingers on the ground.  Before we know it the first daffodils and primrose will come up and then the warm weather will start.  This cold will be a distant memory.  I am looking forward to picking the raspberries on my property and then my blackberries in July.  And before we know it autumn will come again and the cycle will start all over again.  Time seems to have two cycles at the same time.  One turns very slowly and the others speeds all the time.  Time is a vapor as the bible says.

Our sex life is private although sometimes a couple may discuss it however obliquely, but one thing that will never be done is for one person to allow another to view their checkbook.  Why are our finances more sacred than our sex lives?  It is simple.  Our check registers reveal exactly how we are spending our money.  It reveals exactly where our values lie.  We don’t necessarily want to reveal to others how we are spending our money.  Every expenditure indicates what is really important to us.  That is why we might make passing references to our sex lives but never let another see our checkbooks.  As I said, our checkbooks are more sacred than our sex lives.
