@ Deeg – I definitely think being on time is considerate. But for someone like me that’s always thinking about time, a day without any commitments would be awesome.

This sounds like the Jones’. But when you think about, it can be a selfish thought because there are others who need you and time can be the most important thing. It’s considerate to take time into consideration, if that makes sense.

@ Walter – That’s an interesting thought. What’s the saying… “Time flies when you’re having fun?”

Maybe I’m not looking for a day without time after all. Maybe I just want a whole day of fun.

We can only perceive time if we are not rapt or not enjoying what we are doing. Perhaps if we try not to resist life in whatever we are doing, the perception of time will be relinquished.

I do no time days all the time. The perks of a stay at home mom that hates schedules! I know, most stay at home moms have to be on a schedule, but I don’t. Anytime you want to come spend a day without time, you come visit me!

We used to do this at our condo for our week of summer vacation. The first thing we’d do after checking in was hide the kitchen clock. That would force us to eat when we are hungry, not when the clock says we should. And go to bed when we are tired, and get up when we feel like it.
Over the years, this has become more challenging as we try to coordinate naptimes, bath times and bed times for half a dozen grandkids. Sigh.
The concept remains, though the digital microwave clock pretty much negates the effort…
