Today is Monday, and I asked myself what this week would bring. As a woman who contemplates the elusiveness of time and how difficult it is to grasp, I have long realized the wheel of time doesn’t move by weeks, months, or years but by seconds, minutes, and hours that make a night and a day into twenty-four hours. What we do with our twenty-four hours is up to us. We choose.
Knowing that, I have decided to take the seconds that turn into minutes, the minutes that turn into hours, and the hours that sum up the complexity of the earth’s rotation around the sun and see time as a one-day gift to live and enjoy. Each day I awake is a new beginning, and I am thankful for that one night and day.
Have a lovely week!
Shalom shalom,
Pat Garcia

You go, girl!
I like your expression for time’s movement: “the wheel of time doesn’t move by weeks, months, or years but by seconds, minutes, and hours that make a night and a day into twenty-four hours.”
Just last week I re-read the line that “the evening and the morning were the first day.” I have read the story of creation so many times. How could I have missed that the Hebrew (?) calculation of a twenty-four period begins with the evening, not the morning. I guess I have a lot to learn.
Thank you so much, Marian. Not only you have a lot to learn, but I do too. We will continue to learn until HE calls us to be with Him.

Experiencing every day as a gift is one of YOUR special gifts, Pat! Your gratitude is an encouragement and confirmation to me that THIS is how God wants us to live life. “This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalms 118:24
Thank you so much, Patty. Isn‘t it wonderful to experience one night and one day at a time. Psalms 118 is one of my favourite Psalms.
Take care and God bless you.
