1. Time is all relative based on age and experience.

When you are

a child an hour is a long time to wait but a very short time when
that’s all the time you are allowed on your iPad. As a teenager
time goes faster the more deadlines you have and the more you
procrastinate. As a young adult, you think you have forever to
live and don’t appreciate the time you spend with others. As a
middle-aged adult, time flies by as you watch your children
grow up. And finally, as you get old and you have fewer
responsibilities and fewer demands on you, time slows. You
appreciate each day and are thankful you are alive. An hour is
the same amount of time for everyone yet it can feel so different
in how it goes by.

2. The red glow of tail lights indicating another long drive home
from work after an even longer 24-hour shift at the hospital. The
shift hadn’t been horrible but the constant stream of patients
entering the ER meant there was no downtime. She had some of
the “regulars” in tonight with new ailments they were sure were
going to kill them. It’s amazing what a couple of Tylenol and a
physical exam from the doctor did to eliminate their pain,
nausea, headache, or whatever other mild symptoms they had.
Sometimes she wondered if all they really needed was some
interaction with others and a bit of the individual attention they
received from the nurses.

wasn't. Had it been a hundred? It quite possibly could have
been. Two hundred? Probably not. His mind wandered until he
caught himself and again tried to imagine it was the first time.

4. She nervously peered over the edge. She understood in her mind
that the view was supposed to be beautiful, but all she felt was
fear. There had always been something about heights that
 disturbed her, and now she could feel the full force of this
unease. She reluctantly crept a little closer with the
encouragement of her friends as the fear continued to build. She
couldn't help but feel that something horrible was about to
happen.

5.There was something in the sky. What exactly was up there

wasn't immediately clear. But there was definitely something in
the sky and it was getting bigger and bigger.

6. Welcome to my world. You will be greeted by the unexpected

here and your mind will be challenged and expanded in ways
that you never thought possible. That is if you are able to
survive...
