The challenge: 105 words including:
…. it can’t be that time …..
Another One
Surely it can’t be that time again. Wasn’t it just yesterday or the day before that they congratulated me and gave me things and took me out for a meal and I put on a bright smile and said, “Thank you!” Where did all the time go? Has anything changed? Am I still the same? How can it all be happening again so quickly, exactly the same except for the number? One more. Each time, another one.
There was a time when I was proud of being able to add another one to the number. With any luck, there will be another time like that.
Thanks for reading this, but yesterday’s post was more interesting.

Time does fly, doesn’t it. I like the twist at the end.
Thank you 🙂
Oh, to go back to the time when birthdays took an age to get here! The big 4-0 looms for me….
Congratulations, youngster!
After celebrating 60 of those numbers I know exactly what you are saying here. I am constantly perplexed at the speed with which the years pass now, Well done.
Me, too. Thanks 🙂
Time does fly. Excellent piece x

It just goes faster and faster, doesn’t it? I don’t mind getting older… Yet..! But am still surprised by how each year already seems to pass so much faster than the last.
And I think, I didn’t do anything this year. Until I think a bit more and realise I did!
So many candles…and not enough cake. 😉
I like that 🙂
Yes – birthdays do change their meaning, don’t they? And there’s that long, long stretch of our lives when we don’t feel that we’re changing at all, and would just as soon go on with our busy business without noticing the birthdays. Good description!
Exactly!
This says it all…time does not stand still for anyone. Thanks for stopping by my blog Words are Timeless. I am glad you likes my piece Out of Time and the line. I have always felt death does wrap us in some kind of cocoon.
Right. We have to make the most our time.
