Jan 20 2021 - How do you make time fly?

 

How do you make time fly?  Throw a clock.

If you could, would you make time fly?  I wonder what choice one would make - skip the rest of January and all of February and land into March somewhere.  

We're in an isolation winter, watching the clock, the COVID numbers and the U.S. capitol barricades for today's inauguration.
There's advice on how to make time go by faster.  

Particularly entertaining is:  Stop looking at the clock and counting the minutes, and then there is "practical" advice like organizing your work and tackle undesirable tasks.  


There are more articles - things like:  11 Things you can do to stop feeling so bored with life.  So our current version would be:  11 Things to do to stop feeling so bored with the pandemic.  The article talks about life being longer than we realized.  And didn't we find out the pandemic is much longer than we planned it to be.

Our pandemic situation it is likely months longer, not years.  But our dilemma is that the advice - learn a new set of skills, develop friendships, travel, look for a new job, get active and exercise, create some art - make things seem worse as only a few of these are readily available.  We can easily get active and create some art.

But more likely is the case that many 
people are beyond "bored",  and are now in existential depression - experiencing hopelessness, and with life being meaningless. There are articles for this too.  This is one HERE.  The advice is things like: accept the uncertainty, focus on what you can do, grieve, embrace differences.  

So let's take the advice and focus on what we can do - find some "time flies" jokes:


People: Time flies when you’re having fun
Frogs: Time is fun when you’re having flies

Time flies when you name your bird after the seasoning
I am aware that the correct spelling is thyme

 

These beautiful Himalayan Poppies were at Longwood Gardens a few years ago for their winter display.  Aren't they they most beautiful blue?
