Time in a Bottle

"Guard well your spare moments. They are like uncut diamonds. Discard them and their value will never be known. Improve them and they will become the brightest gems in a useful life."

One of my favorite songs growing up was "Time in a Bottle" by Jim Croce. No matter how much time passes, it's a song that I always remember the words to.

If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day
Till Eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you

If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure and then,
Again, I would spend them with you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go
Through time with

If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty
Except for the memory
Of how they were answered by you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go
Through time with

In this New Year, I intend to use my time more wisely; to make every minute count; to accomplish something every day whether it be creative or organizational; to give of my time to help another.


"The time which we have at our disposal every day is elastic; the passions that we feel expand it, those that we inspire contract it; and habit fills up what remains." ~ Marcel Proust

Wishing you much happiness and time for all that is important to you. Peace & blessings, Tammy
