Timing Is Everything

How many of us are there who think about "time"? It is one of the things in our lives we cannot change. Some of wish we were able to "go back" in time and change something we said or did not say, something we did or did not do. Historically, much effort has been expended by many to develop various means by which we could just measure time. There have been scores of devices invented to allow us to keep track of time. Some events in history may have occurred differently if only time had not been a factor. Our daily lives are dictated by time. We may arise at a specific time to accomplish a task, eat at a specific time, retire at a specified time, etc.

Our introduction to time begins with our conception and ends when we take our last breath. What we do with the time between those two events defines who we are. Some of us are very conscious of time and others seem to take very little notice of it. Regardless of our awareness, or lack thereof, time marches on. Second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour, and so on. We cannot change the speed that time passes us by. When we were children, we could not wait until we were "old enough" to be granted a particular privilege. As we grew older, again we looked forward to attaining a certain age when we were old enough to drive, to date, etc.

Although we continued to grow older, it may have seemed that we had "run out of things" to which we could look forward. Finally we reached that time in our lives when we began to reflect
and perhaps wished we "had more time available" to accomplish goals that had gone undone.

It is said that, "Timing is everything"!! And so it is!! I chose to draw your attention to time given the relative speed with which time appears to escape our notice and too late we realize that we should have, could have, would have, but failed to remain aware. For example, how many days do we have until the primary election on 18 MAY? Only 107 days left!!

So what?? What's the big deal?? The "big deal" is that we may just become the big winner or the big loser on that day. The choice is ours. For some of us, there may be others we should consider however. Some of us have families who will have to bear the result of our choice if we fail to consider the possible ramifications. The winner's choice will be the one who chooses to "earn" anywhere from $2,000 to $15,000 for about 15 minutes "work"!!!

How can one "earn" that much for just 15 minutes work? Each and every one of us who votes for Sam Rohrer on that day will be a winner. Only he has offered us that chance of all the candidates for Governorship of our State.

If, for whatever reason, we choose to vote for anyone else, we'll find ourselves weeping and gnashing our teeth in the months and years that follow. One can only hope that each and every one of us make the right decision.
