About Time

“When you kill time, remember that it has no resurrection.”  - A.W. Tozer

When God was handing out friends, he reserved all the unpunctual ones for me!

I am a punctual person. I like to be on time and when people need me to get things done I like to deliver before they expect it. I however, have exactly one punctual friend. Lulu is so punctual she makes me look bad! She's the only person I know who's more punctual than my dad. Back in the day going to town use to be a treat for us; my dad would say "wait for me by the car in five minutes” and if you were there in six minutes, you could wave the trip to town goodbye. Sorry for you! Better luck next month!

If I measured the status of my friendships by punctuality I would have no friends. Oh ok, I’d have one. This is how my friends operate: if I need them to be somewhere at 14h00, I tell them to be there at 12h00 and I can expect the first person to get there at 16h00! No names mentioned *sips water*

They say wasting someone's time is the same as disrespecting them as a person. We all have 24 hours and once a second has passed you can never get it back. Unless you can physically remove an hour from your day and donate it to somebody else, respect every second of their time! It's simple etiquette, if you're going to be late, notify people well in advance. If it happens again...don't let it happen again!

Time heals all wounds

When I was younger this was in a literal sense. I would fall and earn a huge scab on my leg but in time the skin would gradually reconnect and I would heal. The older you get the more you wish that this would be the only kind of hurt you would go through! But it still remains, over time you heal nonetheless.

Perfection takes time

I need to meditate on this! I'm a perfectionist who doesn't have time to take time to perfect anything; I want to perfect it and I want to perfect it NOW! Blame my zodiac sign for this.

In time you will get what is due to you 

We get so caught up keeping up with the Joneses we forget that we did not start the race at the same time, let alone run on the same track! We put ourselves under unnecessary pressure because you look to the right and Sipho is on property ownership number two at the tender age of 25 (*side note* ever noticed how in primary school story sums there is always a Sipho- who is this Sipho guy??), you look to the left and Sandy just got her big break...FOR THE TENTH TIME! Life is unfair like that, we can’t just get what we want when we want it, but in time, all that’s due to you will make its way to you. So learn to be patient, keep moving forward and focus on your own race.

And that’s all I have for this time. Thank you for taking the time to stop by! Till next time...
