24 hours don't seem to be enough
24 hours don't seem to be enough
Have you ever, like me, "complain" or "lament" that time never seem to be enough for us to use? Just when we wanted to work on something, it's time to move on to another - dinner, sleeping, another appointment, etc, etc.
I had something to attend to in the morning and after my appointment rushed back home to fetch mum for her medical appointment at NUH. Her appointment time was 4.15pm and we knew that it's going to be a real long wait since experience tells us that patients with appointments earlier than ours will usually take longer time with the doctor and hence everyone's turn to see the doctor gets pushed down later. We didn't expect the wait to be beyond 5pm and by the time mum saw her doctor, it was 5.45pm!!! Gosh, and not forgetting the collection of medicine from the pharmacy - another long wait. By the time we settle everything, it was already 7pm or so.
On our way back, mum was just expressing her thoughts about how time passes by so quickly everyday - first it seemed that we kind of just celebrated the beginning of 2008 ... then it was the Lunar New Year ... after that it was mid-year, then mid-autumn festival and wheeze ... before you know it, Christmas is just around the corner and so too the footsteps of another new year.
Indeed, sometimes we might feel that 24 hours is not enough but I guess when God planned that 24 hour cycle, in His wisdom He knew that's what is sufficient for us everyday, and perhaps beyond that our body just might not manage. I guess how we each manage time differs, but time is a precious commodity, nobody has more than any other, and nobody has less.
