Time is a precious Gift

Hi guess you were wondering if I ever get around to blogging again. Or maybe the handful of readers who so graciously have taken the time to read my space gave up. Anyway, this blog is about time or lack of it. I have not blogged again because of the lack of time in my life. At this moment I have three more subjects to teach my kids,( i homeschool the rowdy bunch), I have a friend coming over for lunch any minute and the lunch is not ready, I have loads of laundry to do, I need to work-out, I have to make supper, I have bills to pay etc. etc. You may say so, why should your life be any different then the rest of society? I do not like this rat race. Yes we must Be productive to some degree, but when did schedules take over simply living life with a smile on our faces and a skip in our walk? I`m finding that I get to a point where I hate my days. I wake up and start running. Recently I had a serious talk about these concerns of mine with my lover, my mate and my friend, my husband. We both know something must change. You see when this busy life style gets to us then we bark at one another and get irritated over the littlest things. So, we are going to begin by saying no to some committments, and setting boundaries and priorizing what is important. You see when all is said and done at the end of our lives, will it really matter how much we`ve accomplished? I for one hope that at the end of my life the few love ones at my funeral will be saying how much I loved them and spent time laughing and enjoying life with them. My Grandma once said to my sister when she was lamenting over a messy house with kids mucking about, "Honey, your kids won`t remember how clean your house was, but they sure will remember how much time you played with them." I guess that is why God said,don`t worry about tomorrow, today has enough worries of their own, take one day at a time. . . . , something along that line anyway, I don`t feel like running for my Bible at the moment to clarify, it would take too much time and I have to finish this blog. C`est la vie, Cindy
