The Concept of Time

I grew up in Miami, there was Cuban time, in Los Angeles, there is Persian time, and Jewish time, and I am sure every culture has their version.  It is different however in specific professions, for instance when you have a doctors appointment, you know sometimes there may be a wait.  For my Yoga, Prenatal Yoga, and Doula clients, I know that there may be rescheduling, and there really is no such thing as a due date.

My husband is an auto broker, and today we had an appointment at 2pm, he had a car that was supposed to be delivered at noon for a client.  He suggested rescheduling our appointment, but I really thought we could make it, but he knows his business, the car was coming from far away and he knew that noon could mean anything.  I felt bad rescheduling our appointment, but then I realized every profession knows that things happen, life happens.  I always think I can squeeze everything in, but next time if my husband says that he will probably have a client longer than expected, I will not schedule anything on that day.

I really value my time and do my best to be places on time because I value other peoples time as well. Not only professionals that we have an appointment with, but my students and clients that have put me into their day as something important, something that they do not want to miss out on, I would not want to take that feeling away from them by running late.  Of course it is nice that my classes know that I have three kids, things happen, and if I am really running late I call the gym or the house that I am teaching at so they know I am on my way.

My only Jewelry, and looking at my watchless wrist

It is so interesting that now because of cellular phones, not many people wear watches anymore.  I personally do not wear any jewelry except for my wedding ring, and it is just part of me, but other than that I do not like anything, and am kind of happy not to know what time it is at every moment.  I am blessed to have a career that fits my personality, I cannot imagine being in one place, Monday through Friday, waiting for the clock to tell me its time to go home.  However when I do help out in the office at my kids school, I do enjoy the air conditioning, and to just sit down for a few hours, but that has only happened since I became a mom and rarely sit down.

Sometimes knowing what time is it is important, it lets us know how close and often the contractions are coming during labor, it helps to pick our kids up from school, and the best part is when its bed time first for the kids then for me.

There really is only now,
but in order to function,
yesterday and tomorrow have their place,
memories,
goals,
feel good now,
