Time in a Bottle

How do significant life events or the passage of time influence your perspective on life?

“Time in a Bottle,” a popular song written and sung by the late great Jim Croce in the 1970s. Worth finding on YouTube if you never listened to it. Lyrics below.

If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I’d like to do
Is to save every day
‘Til eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you

If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I’d save every day like a treasure and then
Again, I would spend them with you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I’ve looked around enough to know
That you’re the one I want to go
Through time with

If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty
Except for the memory
Of how they were answered by you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I’ve looked around enough to know
That you’re the one I want to go
Through time with

The most important moments in life are those who you love and who have your back that aren’t always family. With my second permanent layoff from a longtime employer and blessed to make it to age 64, one’s viewpoint changes from material success to being around those who are on your team per se. Grateful to live simply with my beautiful felines and my friends who have been there for me.

Thank you,
