Take Extra Time.


I love Timex's Take Time campaign.

I had planned a post talking about what time means to me at the beginning of last week but I just couldn't.  Partly because it was too raw but I also didn't want to make it trivial.  Having had that last and final hug, without knowing that it was, there aren't words.  It's a sacred space.  You can barely just be, in that time.




But time ticks on.  This is the ache and the beauty of time.

So here goes.

Because it's time to take time, but don't stop time.  We can't quit.  We need to live and love, love harder, take extra time.  be softer with people.  Listen.  And not just to people who agree with us.

"Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes.
Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes.
Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes.





How do you measure, Measure a year?
In daylights?
In Sunsets?
In Midnights:
In cups of coffee?
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife?
In Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes" -lyrics from Rent.

Maybe as we look at our watch, the ticking of the minutes can remind us to be present, be a little kinder, put the phone down and play with my kids.  Make eye contact with someone and say hello.  Strike up a conversation with a mom on the playground for no other reason than adult conversation.  Do something that stretches your comfort, expand your world.  Volunteer.

Take Time.

You won't regret it.

best,
Kirsty
