My father once explained to me that Time is like a roll of toilet paper.
When you're young, the new roll of toilet paper unwinds slowly and there is plenty left of it. A year takes forever. As you age, it unwinds quicker and quicker to the end of the tube and every year goes by faster and faster.
You get the idea. I think he has the best explanation so far.
And thank you, Juju. Your post reminded me of it.

I picture time as an opportunity to strive for something. If I was to describe it, it would be a never-ending arrow forward.
I rarely look back, and often look forward. I have gratitude for each day and I am always excited about learning, growing, and getting better.
I often say that I live for the end game. I picture what people would say about me at my funeral. It's not dark, but an opportunity for me to craft the rest of my life in a way that makes others (and me) proud of what I've done and what I'm going to do.

Naja, as I think about it, my arrow also goes slightly to the right like your Mom's thick wavy ribbon. The ribbon also reminds me of my Dad. When he passed away years ago there was a TV commercial running often with a thick red wavy ribbon. I often thought that Dad was floating somewhere along that ribbon.

Grooch, you are welcome. Was it the whizzing reference that brought forward your long-repressed toilet paper analogy?

Can you guys explain more of what you mean. Like say you were "picturing" what you are going to do with your day, are you saying you picture your 10 o'clock appointment to the left of your internal screen, the 2 o'clock just right of center etc.?

I don't picture days, or anything like that, Kitt. I picture the flow or direction of time. As if time is a river. Like for my mom, instead of a river, she sees a ribbon. I see an endless circle as if time repeats itself as I'm traveling the circle over and over.

And this is why I never learned to meditate. I don't understand the concept of "picturing" something in my mind.
Kitt, want to come and sit by me in the non-picturing area?

I just finished reading this very cool article from 9 years ago. It's about how this person visualizes time, and the comments are neat, too.

Who is your favorite cartoon character?
Yogi Bear has always been a favorite of mine. Yogi is such a scamp.

Johnny Quest, it was a fun show and also somewhat educational. I also liked his sidekick Hadji.

Oh, it's hard to pick a favorite. I love the monsters from Monsters Inc, I think it was called and I get a kick out of the Rugrats.
Then there are the oldies, I loved Johnny Quest, and Wile E Coyote, hahahaha.

For some reason I thought the question was strictly about television cartoons but my all-time favorite cartoon character is Dory from Finding Nemo and Finding Dory. She really is me in cartoon form. LOL. She's talkative, caring, and loyal but her memory is caca. ;) ;)

In fact, it's hard to pick. So many Disney Characters are fabulous.

Ellie, from "For Better or Worse" I see that comic strip in my life all the time. Most of the time I see Ellie in me...but I see myself in her children as well. I've read the strip from when it first started when I was a young teen until she retired.

They still rerun that strip and I do still read it.
Lynn is still around.. https://www.fborfw.com
She mentions now being 70.
On the site I think she did write futures for the characters.
