“One thing you can’t recycle is wasted time”



A great quote I saw on a local flower shop’s sign. Goggled it to find out what wise person said it but it seems it is from an unknown source.


The definition of time according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary -


a : the measured or measurable period during which an action, process, or condition exists or continues

b : a non-spatial continuum that is measured in terms of events which succeed one another from past through present to future


Each of us is given 24 hours in a day - no more - no less. What we choose to do with it is up to us. Maybe that time is spent “doing”; actively doing the things that need to be done. Maybe that time is spent “being”; listening, watching, thinking. Or maybe that time is spent not doing, not being - wasted?


Lately I think I have been wasting a lot of time.....
