The clocks fell back to standard time in many parts of the world today. It’s all part of an energy saving, sunshine increasing plan we call daylight saving time. It was devised by a New Zealand dude named George Vernon Hudson in 1895 who originally proposed a two-hour time shift. There are all sorts of good reasons we still do it today from economic to environmental but let’s not forget how much we love the long stretch of sunlight from the end of March to the first week of November.

Time is one commodity we cannot renew. Despite our denial, none of us has an unlimited supply. Yet often we use it like we do. We fill our days with busy tasks and stress as we look toward the weekend for a few stolen hours of rest. Then we fret about work, wish we had more money to buy that item and fight our way toward winning some sort of self-made race.
Projects need to be delivered, meetings must be attended, activities have to organized. Life can be hectic and we miss the important stuff though we seem to have gotten good at giving it lip service.
As we gain an hour today, here are some wise thoughts about time...
Time is the only thief we can't get justice against.
Astrid Alauda
In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular.
Kathy Norris
Men talk of killing time while time quietly kills them.
Dion Boucicault
Life happens while you're busy making other plans
John Lennon
Time is what we want most, but what we use worst.
Willaim Penn
Time waits for no one.
Mick Jagger and Keith Richards
Life is about the gift not the package it comes in.
Dennis Costea
Time is making fools of us again.
J.K. Rowling
Time is an equal opportunity employer. Each human being has exactly the same number of hours and minutes every day. Rich people can't buy more hours. Scientists can't invent new minutes. And you can't save time to spend it on another day. Even so, time is amazingly fair and forgiving. No matter how much time you've wasted in the past, you still have an entire tomorrow. Denis Waitely
Cherish your time.
