Gratitude Day 92 - Daylight

The number of times I switched the bracelet yesterday- Zero! I'm getting better at this! 

Dear Friends,
Being the punctual person that I am, I always think of “time” as set in stone, and yet it's such a flexible commodity.
On Sunday, once again “mankind” will be tempering with time!
What will happen if one day “he” decides that an hour really does have 22 minutes or 199 minutes? We can actually lose our age and whatever nonsense comes with it! I could “suddenly” be dead, or much younger
(in age of course, unless he removes all the mirrors!) 
Imagine living life without measuring time!
In a week-long scientific experiment, conducted in 1979 by Langer (a psychologist), a group of seventy-five-year-old men, pretending to live in 1959, showed concrete signs of  turning back their biological clock, looking on average three years younger than the time they entered the experiment. Scientists saw improvement in their posture, hand strength, eyesight and short term memory. 
It is all in our head, after all!
I would like to see the experiment being conducted with women as well! 
(I would apply in a heartbeat!)
Until then, I remain grateful that "springing forward" will give me one more hour of natural light after work!
Have a bouncy day everyone!
