The days move slow

The years, not so much.

Why do the days sometimes seem to crawl while the years move so fast?

We monitor the slow days, filled with waiting, working and repetition.  Time seems to expand, marked by our daily patterns and events.

While today is so vivid, last year yields to memory.  The past can drift into illusion if we’re not careful. 

It’s important to make the year feel less vanished, important to introduce more novelty and meaning into our boundaries of time.   Far better to be fully absorbed, and mindful of how our lives progress.
