Human life is full of minutiae. Measured in increments of time with an exact account based on the frequency of an agreed upon cesium resonance, it is an exacting measure of our mortality - yet perspective is often lost on how long a particular moment actually lasts. Trying to figure out where things start and stop is an exercise in futility. Years pass, and with them, so do many opportunities. Ironic that when it really matters, seconds and minutes become so precious. Situationally ironic that an invention, allowing us to give meaning to moments could cause us to miss so many. As we hustle, frantically into the fray of our everyday lives, how often do we say to ourselves, if we only had more time.

It is easy to see why we miss so many of the details.

90 days is said to be long enough to become accustomed to change. Not all change of course, nor does this in any way purport to the sufficiency of time needed for acclimation. 90 days should be seen more as a minimum to get something started if it is to mean something. It could be argued that in any one year, there are four such periods. On the other side of it, more than a hundred.
