Occasionally, but only occasionally, the world slows down for you. It doesn't necessarily make anything easier to understand, but the slowing allows greater time for observation of everything that goes into making a day. It becomes possible to surprise oneself with oneself's productivity. When adult life sets in, satisfaction comes from the seemingly mundane in life, but the simple ability to go and to do becomes oddly fulfilling. That's why groceries are in the cupboard, clean clothes to wear and sore muscles requiring long evenings of resting.
