Long

This week's one-word prompt is: Long

Ready?

GO.

Wait, am I writing about Long the Verb or Long the Adjective?  I think Kate Montaug wrote about the Verb, but looks like I'll be in good company if I write about the Adjective.

This week has been SO LONG!  Why is it that short weeks with a holiday in them always seem longer than the regular weeks?  Just goes to show that time is so relative.  

Haha, I think that's about all I have.  Maybe I would have had more to write about if I had gone for Long the Verb.  I still have three minutes, I'll give it a try.

OK, right now I am LONGING for chocolate.  And longing for playing outside in the sunshine among the pumpkins tomorrow with Caroline - we're taking her to a farm for some fall fun!  Maybe that's why the week has been so long - anticipation seems to slow time down, and dread seems to speed time up.  Pretty sure I got that from Harry Potter.  When he's trying to get ready for the challenges in Goblet of Fire.

So, the lesson here is - if time seems to be dragging on, life must be pretty good because you're anticipating something awesome coming up?  Sounds good to me.  I remember in 4th grade thinking how SLOW time was passing for me.  Must have been my first realization that the coming summer was going to be more fun than school.  I cried the day second grade ended because I didn't want school to stop.

Love how our perspective changes.  With time.

STOP.
