We all do it. I'm as guilty as the next person. At work I'm always asking, "
Is it 2:00 yet?" Because that is the time I'm supposed to be off. And while I'm happy to have a job, some days it just can't be over soon enough. Wishing the day to be done is such a waste of precious hours, and yet, I know I'll do it again and again.

Then there's this one. Granted, only a portion of us do it. But that's because we are the lucky ones that actually have the weekends off. "
Is it Friday yet?" Why? What is so special about our weekends that make it so important to get to them quicker? Most weekends, I'm not doing anything new and exciting. Unless I'm getting together with my girlfriends for our once a month gathering. Wishing our weeks away is a waste of such precious time. The hours turn into day, which turn into weeks and then years. Then we look back and wonder where has the time gone. We never get it back, and yet, once again, I know I'll do it again and again. Even though I would like to say that I won't, bad habits are hard to break.
I actually just did the "Is it 2:00?" bit yesterday at work. And the co-worker that I asked had an extremely insightful answer. I will try to remember it and learn from it. I pass it along to you so that you can perhaps do the same. He said, "It's getting there, and as long as you're alive, you'll eventually see it."
And being alive to see it is indeed a reason to be happy in the moment. May we decide to make the most of all our moments and achieve what happiness we can.
