Tick tock goes the clock... but what is it really saying?

A girl on facebook writes in her status, " the monosyllable of the clock is Loss, Loss, Loss." I beg to differ. I feel as though the monosyllable of the clock is gain, gain, gain. Each second past is a second gained in your life. A second full of life. The seconds that add up to your long 80, 90 hopefully 120 years. I thought about this on the way home from Dad's tonight. Talk about the glass half full....
Since when did I adopt the practice of positive thinking?
