Thoughts destined to be washed away by the tides of life.

Save your minutes, save your hours & when you have a day...
They say you can never be too rich, too thin or have too much coffee. Well, they say some of that. I might have added the part about the coffee.

And why not have extra coffee? Tomorrow we start saving daylight which means a lost hour of sleep. Honestly, I lost a few hours of sleep last night and didn't even save one hour of daylight. I am getting so far behind on sleep, the “fall back” in November won't make a dent.

I am still not sold on this daylight savings thing. I thought it was good when I was a kid and we stayed outside later in the summer. But now, it just confuses my biological clock. I never know what time it is because there's light when there should be dark.

I suppose that turning clocks forward and back helps us divide up the year just a little more. These events are like holidays in that way. “ So many days until Christmas” posts on Facebook become “Remember to turn your clocks forward this weekend” posts.

Fall Back alerts us to prepare for the long winter and Spring Forward brings the hope that gets us through its last icy sputters.

Maybe it's a good thing, after all.
