Time Flies - SLOW DOWN

 

Das neue Fahrgefühl or in English: The new driving experience Zürich: relax...

On Friday, November 20, Blogger friend Carole posted in Latin: Tempus Fugit ( Time Flies). 

It brought me the idea for using this photo that I took in September 1995, while being in Herisau, Switzerland, visiting our mushroom friends.

The Dachshund on wheels seems to enjoy its relaxed speed!

WISH we all could roll through time like that...

Are you also feeling the same?!

Today I've had eye surgery and might not be able to reply or visit any other blogs...

      Thank you, it is already remarkable in just one day and today I have a checkup with my ophthalmologist. So happy that Pieter managed well to drive me home that hour via Interstate.
      Hugs,
      Mariette

      Yes, through my eye cap on the way home I noticed that without glasses I could see rather well. Did rest a lot, the partly anesthesia knocks you down but resting is perfect for good healing.
      Hugs,
      Mariette

  4. The cute Dachshund sure looks enjoying the relaxed speed :-) I do feel the same way about time! It's flying so fast. I feel we just had Christmas and the next one is already here!

    I hope you recover from your eye surgery quickly, Mariette, and enjoy and relax in this holiday season xo

      Thank you and yes, you and I would love to hold the time 'still' for some time... But that is when one lives intense and intimate.
      Hugs and yes, my surgery seems to have been well done, know for sure after my checkup today...

  6. Happy to know your eye surgery went well and you're recuperating. . . . . .by slowing down and taking things easy! No dashing about for a while - hoping you can listen to lovely holiday music while Pieter brings you tasty morsels to nibble and glasses of sparkling liquids to celebrate the successful surgery!
    Just take care - hugs, Mary

    1. Dearest Mary,
      Thank you and yes, we can celebrate this. This morning's post operation checkup was well. Ready for the 2nd eye in January. Will be making us some delicious and healthy dark chocolates with hazelnuts, dried apricots, coconut and such without sugar so even I am allowed to nibble from it. No sweet drinks or alcohol for a diabetic but that's okay!
      Looking forward to Christmas and taking it easy getting there.
      Hugs,
      Mariette

  7. Oh, gosh, I'm wishing you speedy healing from your eye surgery!

    Yes, time flies...it feels like it speeds up the older we get and there doesn't seem to be any way to slow down our perception of it, even when you do stop to smell the roses, as it were.

    Take care!

    1. Dearest Kim,
      Yes, time is passing by like crazy and we cannot slow it down; one way or another. But living intense and making the very best out of every day is the best.
      Post op was great so that is a good ending for 2020!
      Hugs,
      Mariette

  9. También piendo que a veces el tiempo parece volar...aunque mo siempre es así. cuando estás pasando horas de incertidumbre y momentos de dorlor, parece que se hace eterno aunque sean segundos.

    1. Querida Antónia,
      Sí, tienes razón en eso. Cuando estás sufriendo o viviendo a través del dolor o de cualquier negatividad, el tiempo se arrastra... Cierto, por supuesto, en realidad eso no es, pero así es como la mente humana percibelo.
      Abrazos,
      Mariette

      Yes, the operation and today's post-operation checkup was very well.
      So happy to be this far and now relaxing around Christmas!

  11. I am really pleased to learn that your eye surgery went well Mariette, the thought of having surgery on my eyes is not one that I care to think about. However, people always say that the whole experience is far easier than any of them had anticipated.

    1. Dearest Rosemary,
      It was not the surgery itself that I ever had thoughts about but just the fact that IF something would go wrong, I had no reading ability left. My left eye never could do any reading. But all went well, also the post-op.
      Hugs,
      Mariette

  12. I know you must be happy to have the surgery behind you, and that hubby was able to drive you home. Pamper yourself and don’t try to do too much. If I were closer I would make a pot of soup for you 🌸🌸

    1. Dearest Janey,
      Thank you for your virtual soup offer; that is very sweet of you!
      Yes, I am very happy for being this far now and the remainder of the year is just a relaxed time for further healing and recovering.
      Hugs,
      Mariette
