Wow, thanks for the perspective shift! And great timing, given I'm sitting here wishing away the next few hours - a pipe burst in our basement last night, so we're without running water until the repair guy gets here. What better time to practice appreciating the moment I'm in (and given there are five of us here, and one bathroom with a toilet we can't flush right now, it's gonna be quite the challenge...LOL!).
In all seriousness, since I'm not a numbers girl, the idea of percentages (5 minutes to a child versus an adult) never occurred to me, but it makes such sense! Definitely going to keep that in mind next time I wonder why the weekend disappeared so fast.
Sending good juju to you and your family as you find your motherhood footing (spoiler alert - my three are 23, 21, and 18 and I'm still trying to find my groove...lol). Bright blessings to you! 😊
Well, I can understand possibly wanting to wish that moment away, five people and one unworking toilet would be a nightmare for me, I think I would venture out to the local shops with a toilet and hot chocolate haha.
I am a maths person and it took me seeing a line in that book to get it so simply, before that I just thought it was a head thing lol... But too many think the same, time speeds us as we get older. You look way too young to have three kiddlets that old.
I hope that your basement is fixed now or at least you have a working toilet.
That would've been my plan as well, except I was in desperate need of a shower, and didn't want anyone calling a hazmat team in...LOL! Luckily the plumbers showed up not long after my reply, and had things sorted in very short order (at least for now - apparently there needs to be a bigger fix down the road). And we managed to flush a couple of times with reserve water, so - YAY!
And thank you for your kind words, but to be fair, my profile picture is about ten years old (I sooooo don't like taking selfies - LOL). Maybe I should update it in honor of my upcoming 53rd birthday... maybe... 😜
Oh, and I almost forgot - I "stole" a couple of your paragraphs in my latest post (Photos from the first week of July 2018). Thanks again for giving me an "AHA!" moment. 😊
