It's Time To....

While the adoption of Daylight Saving Time is almost always rife with controversy, most of the world (except for countries around the Equator) has implemented DST at one point or another. This map depicts countries that currently have DST, that previously had DST, and that never had DST. Today, approximately 70 countries utilize Daylight Saving Time in at least a portion of the country. Japan, India, and China are the only major industrialized countries that do not observe some form of daylight saving. Click the map to see larger.

Here's a little poem I wrote about the time change. Thought you might get a kick out of it. :)

An Hour Gained

Listen to the tick and tock
And the chimes of the clock

It's giving us back some time
An hour more the clock does chime

Sunrise smiles on us today
More time to work or play

Now I can sleep an hour more
Then up to dress and out the door

An hour gained again is here
Five more months of the year

Ah yes, sunrise smiles on us today
An hour more to work or play

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~All turned out well with my laser eye procedure and best of all I don't need reading glasses most of the time especially not on the computer and cellphone. I'm happy about that. Thank you most of all for your well wishes and prayers. I truly appreciate you all. Now don't forget to change your clocks tonight. Enjoy the extra hour of sleep and until the next time, have a weekend of blessings.
