What time is it?!

I'm obsessed with time. At least, that's what it must seem like to an outsider. I'm constantly looking at the microwave--what time is it? Or my phone--what time is it? Or even the coffee machine--WHAT TIME IS IT?!

And it's not as if I'm a very busy person. I have plenty of time to do most of things I want/need to get done. But something compels me to constantly monitor these ever-changing digital readouts.

My world was turned completely upside down this past week when two of my vintage clocks stopped ticking. It's like the world stopped spinning. What was I going to do? Now, every time I enter a room, I have absolutely no idea what time it is. And surprisingly, I'm starting to love it.

Sometimes, factors beyond your control force you to pause or even slow down to a sluggish crawl. But inevitably, you end up noticing things you may not have noticed before...
