The old joke, “If you want to live forever move to a small town because every day will feel like an eternity.”
Time does seem to move more quickly the older I get. Maybe I want it to slow down. Though I wonder what difference the size of town or city really makes?
It’s the rush and hubbub of those around you. You won’t expect things to happen instantly because there aren’t enough people around to jump when you ask. I live in South Florida now, and if I want a tree cut down on my property, I can call an arborist and he will be there to estimate and probably complete the job in a matter of days. I am moving to NH, and the same service they are like “we only do estimates on Saturdays…and it’s raining this Saturday… So maybe next Saturday we can come out for an estimate”.
It’s not a terrible thing. You get used to things taking a little longer. Might be a long walk or a bit of a drive to get to your favorite diner, but you know the people there now, and you can spend a bit more time on breakfast catching up with them.
Shops probably close a bit earlier too. You might as well go home for the night early since nowhere is open. Might be nice to catch up on reading that book this evening. You can shop tomorrow. Etc etc.
