Finding time...

    I know we each get the same amount of time allotted to us daily...but my clock must be losing time or something.  No matter how hard I try to work on those papers with December due dates, I find my head buried in some book in darkness and drool.  As I reorient myself I stagger to bed leaving a trail of clothes to pick up on my way to the shower in the morning.  I suppose many have passed this way before ( I know I have) and many will in the days ahead.  Yet the present finds me pleading for more time but to no avail.  Thanksgiving soon come.
