Three turns should do it, I think.....

T is for Time-Turner.....





"My use and value unto you are gauged by what you have to do. I mark the hours every one nor have I yet outrun the sun."


Hermione was certainly a lucky girl when she was entrusted with so sensitive an object. Being able to travel back in time to complete all the tasks/projects/events that you would normally have to choose between, as it is impossible to be in two places at once, would certainly eliminate the guilt-ridden discouragement that so often comes when we aren't able to fulfill all the demands placed on our time. 


Case in point, as I type this-- a day late and within an hour of running into the day for the 'U' post-- I could definitely have made good use of a Time-Turner this weekend....


How many turns would it take for you to go back and do all the things left undone? 


Wonder if Hermione would let me borrow hers? Though I doubt only three turns would suffice....

    I think I would easily become dependent upon it. Constantly returning to the same time period over and over and over, forgetting to move forward. Not unlike an alcoholic. In this sense I think I'm better off without a time turner, even though it would be great to have more hours in a day. Maybe if there was some built in limit to how much you could use it within a certain time frame?

    Though, knowing humans, we'd probably just fill up our days even more, banking on the fact that we could just go back with our time turner if it were necessary.

    Sorry, long comment :P It was a very though provoking post!

    I don't think I'd want a time turner - it would lead to the expectation that I get everything right, if not the first time, then the second.... or the twenty-second. Remember the movie "Back to the Future"? - it would be like that, but there'd be no one to cancel you after the 3rd sequel!!

    I think if I had one, I'd be afraid to use it. I look at the wonderful things in my life, and I wouldn't risk one of them to set some old wrong right, or have a second go at a missed opportunity.

    Though a second crack at the Easter candy might be nice...

    Best,
    Joe

A to Z reflections....

Another A to Z challenge comes to an end--- another collection of posts and poetry have been written, another deep breath of relief is released. For my fellow bloggers that survived as well, it's another 'challenge-completed' notch carved into the writing desk. I've come to enjoy my yearly foray into the world of all things alphabetical. This was my third year, though it was only the second year I had a workable theme (which made the challenge substantially easier than the first year I attempted this challenge.) And, though my first year was difficult because my focus was so scattered, I found this year was more  difficult because I lost the enthusiasm that came with the first year excitement----excitement which helped me plug along until the end of the challenge. Year 3 was a success in the sense that I completed the challenge, though, this was the year that almost wasn't---- Somewhere about a third of the way through the challenge, I seriously considered

Remember and Return.....

I've settled my heart in the memory of your sigh, the subtle caress of your lips. I've eased my mind's worry in the warmth of your smile, the soft embrace of your kiss. But, the time of our parting has been of a length, that I scarce can recall your words' sound. And, I fear in the depths of this consuming absence, your passions withheld, your spirit's now bound. I have not the strength to fight such a foe, as wild and untamed as the sea. I have not the will to stand at your door, and demand your decision to be, As one or the other, the sea or my love, I know I would fail to win thee. My only request, when you've ventured enough, Remember! And, return unto me.

A-Z Reflections, year 4....

A-Z blogging challenge for 2014 has come and gone, seemingly without my realizing it. And, though I fell behind once or twice toward the end, I finished this year's challenge right on time. Really, I can't believe it's already over. I feel like I just finished my post for letter A... Year 4, for this blogger, was a far cry from the tortured state of despondency that was most of  Year 3 -- I'll not mention the irony of this year's focus on death being easier to blog about than last year's foray into supernatural creatures, we'll leave that for my therapy sessions *ahem* As always, A-Z brought with it, not only 26 days of unbridled and far-reaching knowledge (disguised as entertaining and thought-provoking blog-posts), but a chance to connect with new faces while reconnecting with familiar faces--who had perhaps drifted away--from A-Z's past.  I am always amazed by the ingenuity and inspiration that comes from lumping a couple thousand folk
