I know it’s been only one day, but I am acutely aware of our turning back the clocks yesterday morning. The corgis won’t let me forget. Their little timers are still on Daylight Savings Time. Their systems tell them it’s time to go outside, to eat, to play...they aren’t aware of our clocks. Usually, it takes a few days for them to reset and then they’re fine.
The same is true for my internal timer. Much as I tried to sleep in yesterday, my internal timer said, “No, it’s time to get up.” So, I did. It made yesterday one of the longest days in my life. Time is such a funny thing and is so arbitrary. Mother Nature just does her thing with the sun, moon, day, night, rain, snow. We’re the ones who are always trying to catch up.
Wouldn’t it be nice to let go of our clocks once in awhile? Truthfully, I do this sometimes. As long as I don’t have a schedule that involves other people, it’s fun to ignore the clock and see how my day flows. Sometimes, my choices are the same. Other times, they’re very different.
Uh-oh. Someone with fur just gave me a nudge, saying it’s time for their breakfast. Off I go - the corgis are in charge - at least for the moment. I will regain sovereignty at some point, I am sure.
