The concept of time is a curious thing to ponder. My work life was always a race against the clock, very structured with little variation. Since retirement, I have found that "time" had shifted for me. If I want to do anything at a certain time or on a particular day, I have to set alarms on my phone, otherwise I will lose track of time and forget to show up. I rarely know what day of the week it is without checking some device. My old schedule has left my body completely - I go to sleep and wake up at random times with no defined pattern. I am definitely learning to listen to my body more closely - what do I need in this moment?
During my nearly 5 decades of Work life, I had to depend upon the Mechanical clock - Alarm every morning, to make it in time to Work. Somehow, my bodyclock never seemed to synchronise with the Mechanical click (& doesn’t even today).
Anyways, one has to depend upon the Mechanical clock (which is synchronised with the clocks of others) to keep the world going🤗

Definitely food for thought - thank you!
