What is time to you? Is time money? Is time memories? Is time a blessing from God? I heard on the radio this morning on a commercial about how time is money so don't wast it sitting down not doing something. It really hit me. If all time is to you is money I feel very sorry for you. Esp if you have children. Every moment with them is a blessing and time to fill your mind with memories. i think about people that have Alzheimer's and how they are "trapped inside their own mind" as I say it to my husband, but honestly if my mind is filled with beautiful memories of my family, children, them growing, God blessing me constantly, and wonderful friends it would not be such a horrible place after all.

I honestly dont know much about the disease other than what I have seen on tv and in the curcumstance I was thinking of it might not have even been thst exactly but the man could not communicate and it said something about being trapped in his bad memories and I assumed honestly. If what I was saying I wasn't trying to be hurtful so hope it didn't seem that way.

Time is not money to me. Its enjoying what special moments I have. I watched my two great aunts have Alzheimers before they died. They just repeated stuff a lot and talked about memories from when they were kids. So I'm not sure what they could really remember in their heads but I would hope you could still remember good memories!

Time to me is the memories that I make with my DH and my kids.  I waited all my life for the man I call my DH and I am going to treasure every second that I have him and our kids.

We are going through this with my DH's Aunt right now.  She is such a precious lady and we go there every other Saturday to help his Uncle on the farm and while they are working I get to spend time with Aunt Ruth.  I love that woman to pieces but it makes me so sad that she is so confused alot.

Time to me, is what I make of it.  Sometimes it could be quality time with my family, romantic time with dh or relaxing by myself.  Some time is money.  Dh is working overtime right now, which goes into our family saving and vacation accounts.

Time to me is just time to do whatever it is that makes you happy. Weather that's make money, or memories. I'm not religious at all, so I spend my time loving my family, and doing what will make myself and the ones I love smile.

My grandfather had Alzheimer's and it was awful to see but if he was in fact "trapped in his own mind" I hope it was full of his grandchildren. He had so many. he was a marine but he was always a very happy man

Time to me is precious, every moment that passes by is time that my children are growing and one day will be adults and move out and start their own families.  Time is something that should never be taken for granted.

Memories of  my parents when they had their youth and strength now old age is setting in and I reflect on very special things that they did and said.  No time is not money it's way more than that.

I have a memory of July 22, 2011 when I was told that my lovable beautiful feline had to be put down because she had advance cancer of the breast and how I long for her and miss her more and more each day.

Time is so, so precious it's never to be wasted, I try to spend quality time with my family because time is so short.

Here's a little picture of my wonderful cat.
