Busy for What?

My life right now feels crazy. I feel like I am always writing about how busy I am, how crazy things are, how little time I have and all the ways that we need to learn to slow down in life and relax. I guess I’m writing about this all the time because it is always true. But it isn’t always true only for me, it seems true for all of us. This is at least my experience in all the folks I interact with on a day-to-day basis. It’s like a competition of which one of us can drive ourselves insane with how busy we are.

How do we all deal with this? I know that I use lots of lists—There is some thing about checking some thing off the list that just makes me happy. I think it is also the realization that even though there is so much to do I can really only take care of one thing at a time at least if I am truly giving it my attention. And in reality, what is wrong with that?

all these deadlines that we set, all these goals we create to do better and do more, where do they really get us? I don’t see a whole lot of happy people walking around in the world. I’m sure they are out there they just certainly aren’t on the news and they aren’t necessarily all the folks around us either.

Bottom line? You are busy, I am busy, we are all busy. Do we want to be? Why? Are we busy with the right thing? If we don’t have answers then perhaps it’s time to do something about these questions. Happy writing this week.
