What I mean is that being disabled and not having to live with the schedule of work, children (all our kids are grown), deadlines etc, time is just passing by. But I see that as a good thing. I cherish all the time, every second and moment I get to spend with my beautiful wife, children and family.
But I also know that now my time is limited and that I most likely will not live the "normal lifespan", whatever that may be. But I am ok with that as I have always had a strong faith in God and Jesus and do KNOW that there is life beyond what we have here on earth. And I know that someday we will all be together again, those who are left and those who have passed. So time no longer has a hold on me like it did before my illness.
One last comment on time is that for those with disabilities or terminal illness, well at least me, things take much more time. For example my son cleans pools, he can do our pool in probably 20 mintues give or take. When I do the same things he does to clean the pool it takes me between 2 and 3 hours. Same with ADL's (Activities of daily living). One most days when I have the energy to shower, shave, get dressed, take my meds etc, it's a good 1/2 hour to an hour. I used to be able to do the same thing in about 15 -20 mins.
So to me time no longer has a grip on me. What time I have, I cherish. So I ask you to take some TIME each day and cherish what is most important to you. It doesn't have to be a lot of time, but what if you just took 10 minutes somewhere in the day just to be alone or with a loved one, special animal etc and just cherish what you have.
Stay positive and God Bless you all.
