"Fun Minutes"

Have you ever heard the phrase "time flies when your having fun"? Now we all know rationally that a minute is 60 seconds no matter how you look at it.. but I swear when you spend it with people you love, care about or are otherwise interested in and enjoying it seems as if minutes fly by.. even hours.

I had one of those times today. Since signing up for this new social networking thing called Facebook it's been amazing to me how we have been reunited with people from all parts of our past, people that we grew up with, shared life changing experiences with in various youth groups and family members from every generation.

Today what seemed to be just a few minutes with someone from one of our first youth groups.. and yet in reality it was a couple of hours. Then my daughter and I went to meet with someone to plan something for my other daughter and again.. it was amazing how it seemed as if minutes had passed and yet it was and hour.

So I ask you why do you think that is? Why is it when you sit with the ones you love the hands on the clock move in the fastest motion yet when we sit set out to do a dreaded project it seems as if the day drags on... Happiness is a funny thing. It really does bring forth a chemical in our brains that make us feel good.

Isn't it incredible that we have that wonderful feeling so readily available to us? What I've learned though is that we do have to develop those relationships that make us that happy.. and that takes work.. but it's soooo worth it for the happiness it can bring us and really make "our minutes matter...." for the rest of our lives :)
