One thing has happened which I did not expect was the change of time perception. I can do household chores, or read, and time moves by at a pace I expect. However, I can work in the garage sifting and sorting all the items of art projects, gardening needs, and printing materials and time escapes me! Lots and lots of time just passes me by without me knowing. I am always stunned at the hour when I finally sit down for a review...and still it looks like there is so much more to do!
What makes the perception of time so warped? An article by Juliana Breines, How to Make Time Stand Still, explains that a sense of awe can make time stand still. Am I in awe of the stuff in my garage?! I definitely have been surprised to unearth stuff I forgot I had! It is a little like every time I tackle a new pile, something interesting comes to life...and those instances have been happy times. But, awe-inspiring? MmmMmmmm, I"m not so sure.
