Here’s a sobering thought.....
Do you realize that 1970 and 2022 are as far apart as 1970 and 1918? (Wifey saw this on FB)

I notice when I realize how long someone has been dead.

1982 was 40 years ago. That is when we lost Grace Kelly, John Belushi, and Vic Morrow. 3 deaths that were major news. Car accident, OD, and decapitation. Doesn't seem that long ago when we heard about it on the news.

I'm not so sure time is going by faster. Will be turning 66 in June and just retired YESTERDAY (2-28-2020).

We all agree time is relative, subjectively. A fun time goes quickly...solo quiet time drags on. The question is how will you spend it, with whom (or no one) and how will you be remembered, if at all--excluding family members. Longevity doesn't guarantee remembrance. Depressing subject, if you are not so happy.

Time changes everything, goes the old song of Bob Wills.

In hindsight, sure we wonder "where has the time gone".

But in retirement, each day passes slowly, compared to when I was working. I may need a schedule, or something, lol.

When I was looking forward to---and planning---a long trip, time sped by. But not now.

As someone who is working from home, and has been since 2020, every day runs into the next. There's not much differentiation between "work time" and "personal time." Weekdays and weekends aren't differentiated that much. Especially in the winter, time crawls by.
