How often do you sit down and read a book from cover to cover without doing anything else besides taking a pee break or foraging your pantry for more snacks? Hardly ever, right? Who has time for that? We all have task lists as long as the Canada-USA border. We can’t just disappear from our busy lives to read a book. Well, sometimes, I do. People can try to shame me or make me feel guilty with their “Wow! Must be nice to do absolutely nothing.” And guess what? I don’t care. It is nice. I finally finished the big-girl quilt for my granddaughter’s birthday present (it took me a year) and I had a time to relax for a few minutes. I’m living my life how I want to, because we will ALL be dead soon (sorry to break that news to you), so why not spend my time the way I want to. Last week, I was supposed to be on vacation from work. Didn’t happen. |
