On time or do you just live without thinking too much of time?

It seems like everything we do is directed by the clock!
Time to get up
Time for medicine
Time to be at work
Break time
Lunch time
Time to go back
Time to have appointments
Time to leave
Time to pick up the kids
Time to go to lessons
Time for your TV show
Time to do homework
Time to take a bath
Time to go to bed
Wouldn't life be wonderful
if we could just throw away
clocks!!

I don't really worry or fret about time as a number but more am aware if I have a specific appointment to be somewhere. I make an effort to never be late although often things come up that keep me from that goal. My life is not set to the same schedule every day so I am not in a groove that is constant but rather a random free form somewhat organized but subject to change conglomeration. I am pretty spontaneous and flexible when it comes to time.

I have to live my life based on time all week, but come the weekend I hide my watch. I dont care what time it is when I am playing with my daughter and there is nowhere else I would rather be than indian style on the floor playing slap jack with her and her Dora the explorer cards, or doing crafts or watching cartoons or baking with her. The whole world stops. Time is frozen for those few hours of pure bliss that I wouldnt trade for all of the money in the world.

I think we all live our lives more or less based on time. Our bodies have biological Circadian Rhythms which regulate many functions the "clocks" for which are set by various means from the rising and setting of the sun to the times we take our meals. Since the invention of the mechanical clock we have become more or less slaves to time. It was so when I worked but much less so now that I'm retired.

Why do you ask? Are we limited by time? Is that why we say that this is a temporal life? What is the alternative? What animal is most in the moment and thus, timeless?
We only live in time when we are aware of it, right? What did Einstein say about time and relativity?
Is time real? Or is the passing of time something else?

I think the compulsion to watch the time is mostly an affliction of the young. Then again, maybe it's just me.
When I was young(er) I was always punctual, worried about being punctual, or planning ways to ensure that I was. As I've gotten older I've discovered that time doesn't really matter.
Obviously we all have a certain amount of it granted in our lives and we never know when that last minute is approaching. I figure that if my time came tomorrow, I didn't want my kids to remember that I was always on time. I want them to remember that I paid no notice to the time in order to hear the latest joke from them.
I didn't want my friends to remember me by a schedule that had to be kept. I want them to remember that time was not an issue if they needed to talk.
I didn't want my employers to remember me by my time card, I wanted them to remember that I was always willing to pitch in for a bit on my way out of the building.
I didn't want to be on my deathbed and remember that I hadn't taken time for things that didn't involve money or material things. I want to breathe my last breath knowing that, in my own way, I made my own time.
Thank God I've been lucky enough over the years to have kids that are willing to talk (if you have a teenager, then you understand that statement), friends that have needed me and been there for me, and employers that don't mind that I punch in and out a few minutes late every single day.

I live my days by time. Morning, noon, and night. But I don't count the days or weeks or months. The years are kind of hard to ignore. Then was then, now is now and later comes after now.
What happens later? Time will tell.

Time is but a moment, I live by Love Only- Really D'uh!
Love is the great greater, it makes something- from just our feeling. It can make you-or break you!

I just live on a day-to-day basis...
I don't usually think about the time i have left since i don't know.
I just try to get the things i want to do...done.
