Time - is it on our side?

Is time moving faster lately? It seems like days, weeks, months and even years just whizz on by, and we're all left wondering what happened? Where did it go? What did I do back in March? It has nothing to do with getting older either. I heard a young girl say just the same thing the other day. In this bustling, frantic society we've created, there's not enough hours in the day to accomplish everything we set out to do, despite all our time saving, modern appliances. Even us underemployed freelance writers are caught up in the whirl. I find myself making mental to-do lists while meditating, impatient to uncurl myself out of the 'almost' lotus position (I can never get both feet up in the right places no matter how hard I try!) and go get some things done. Have we all worked oursleves into a frenzy and caused the world to follow suit and spin a little quicker? Maybe we have too many distractions, too many gadegts to play with, too many programs to watch, websites to surf. If we all slowed down, took a few breaths and relaxed things may start to look and seem a little different. Until then can someone please just put time on hold for a few minutes so I can catch up?
