A friend and I were e-conversing and he mentioned that he was tight on time, that it seemed he had misplaced any and all spare time he might have had.

 

His thoughts got me thinking about time. About life. And it occurred to me that life is like a great, big dryer. And time is like socks. Who hasn’t experienced the lost-sock-in-the-dryer syndrome?

 

Time does seem to get misplaced, doesn’t it? It’s amazing. No matter how well-planned our schedules, time just disappears once in a while. Just like socks in the dryer.

 

I’m not giving up on time, though. I still believe in planning, and I still plan to set goals. Will I lose some time here and there? Sure. But I happen to love laundry day. I love the fresh smell of clean clothes. If the dryer of life loses a sock of time here and there, well, okay. After all, you’ve got to burn a pancake now and then.

 

Wait… Wrong metaphor.
