How long is a minute?

 I’m not exactly sure how long a minute is anymore.  Sometimes a minute seems longer than at other times.  For instance, I’m driving to an appointment and I’m running a little late. The traffic light I’m approaching turns yellow, then red. I have to stop. A minute seems like a long time.

Or, I’m traveling and simply must stop to go to the bathroom. When I arrive at a convenient mart and run in and the restroom door is locked, a minute seems like a very long time.

But when my wife and I are enjoying a romantic meal, just the two of us, at our favorite restaurant, and we’re laughing and happy and the food is great, a minute seems like a short time.

Or, when our daughters call me and tell me about their day and their friends and we’re laughing, joyful, and delighting in each other’s voice, a minute seems like a very short time.

So how long is a minute?  As you Live Positive, enjoy all the minutes of your day, the long ones and the short ones.
