How Important Are You? Really?

How Important Are You? Really.

I’ve been thinking, and thus, not writing. I’ve discovered that for 17 years, easily, and probably ever since my abuse, 44 years ago, I have lived in the State of Fear. Town of Trepidation. County of Concern. If you can call leprosy ‘Sweetheart’, you can appreciate what a close friend I have in Fear. My darling stays with me 24-7-365. That got me to cipherin’. What if I multiplied all the time I spent with my friend? Wow! 365 days a year and 44 years.

For the math majors reading this, that product equals 16,060 days. For teachers out there, worrying about problem solving, Core Standards and what time the faculty meeting starts, try this one. How many seconds has the Abundant Old Soul lived in fear? 60 minutes per hour times 24 hours in a day = 1440 minutes. Per day. Sixty seconds in each minute. 60 seconds per minute multiplied by 1440 minutes in a day = 86,400 seconds. Per day. Multiply that by 16,060 days (remember 44 years?). 1,387,584,000! If I had a dollar for every second I have lived in fear, I’d be voting Tea Party, too.

I am really good at some things. You know what I’m really good at? Besides living in Fear? I’m good at wasting seconds. I’m great at worrying that there are people in the universe who hate me; who have time for anger. So, because I want to offer you some hope, here’s a quiz.
