Reflections on Time

I wish I could turn back time...
         to that day when two twenty-somethings built this R2D2 like they were kids again
         to that day I got a hug and a Christmas cactus from a dear friend
         to that time I washed these curtains because special guests were coming to stay
         to that day my daughter and I were making the table runners for her reception...the one that now covers the bookshelf
         or to that day I hammered a huge nail into the wall because the bookcase leaned to the left

Or...maybe just slow down time...
         So many little tiny memories!
         Every where I look, as we pack these never-ending boxes, I'm reminded.
         And filled with gratitude.
         I'm taking mental pictures {and iPhone pictures} of the little things ~
             those small scenes that, added all together, made this house our home.
         I don't want to rush the packing.
         I don't want to miss anything.

Or....maybe I really wish I could speed up time...
         to that day, in our new home, where everything will have a new spot
         to that day when the packing AND the unpacking will be completed

Silly really.
Cause we all know, time is what it is.
And that it will march on, no matter how much we indulge in wishful thinking.
