| An opinion or two...or three or four... |
| PROMPT March 8th For most of the world, today is “Spring Forward,” when clocks are set an hour ahead. In your entry today, write about time and how you make the most of it. What is worthy of spending your time on? What is not? In your opinion, what do people spend too much time on these days? Alright, "springing forward" is just plain cruel. Sure, we get an extra hour of daylight, but who cares when you can't make it through the day to enjoy it? Right now I'm an hour behind in my day. I have company coming and I had to rush to straighten up the front room, dust the family room, clean up the kitchen, and make sure the downstairs bathroom is presentable. I made the mistake of not setting my clock and I got up at the "regular" time...that's when the kitty wants to eat and walks on top of me. And then he bangs the blinds on the windows if I'm not moving fast enough. So...even the kitty is all messed up! I got the kitty fed and the dog fed and then I brewed an extra strong cup of coffee. With milk. And a blueberry muffin. I turned on the news and tried hard to understand what it was all about. I know they were talking about school closures and coronavirus...but the details flew right over my foggy brain! I read a meditation and thought about my day. I told myself that once my company left today then I would sit down to blog. Then the caffeine from my coffee kicked in and told me how foolish that was! Most likely I would head off for a nap as soon as they left. And then the day would be gone and I would be sorry I missed my blog. I hate to say it, but I had to agree with myself. So here I am. Foggy-headed not knowing what to think. I would sure enjoy some extra time in bed all snuggled up in a blanket with my head cradled in a soft pillow, my dog, my cat, my husband sleeping soundly next to me. But alas, I've been forced to "spring forward". Cruel. It's just plain cruel. So in my foggy state I think the best I can come up with is to say that for me, time well spent is time spent doing the things you do best with a clear head and a clear conscience and a clear path to the end of the day. And in the words of Forrest Gump, "And that's all I have to say about that." |
