Tuesday...
I never seem to leave enough time to get things done in the morning. My intentions are good... I set my alarm for 6:45, knowing that I have to be at work, in my desk with phone logged on at 8:30 am. But I will not get out of bed and instead I hit the snooze button until 8 and finally will myself out of the warm comfort of my california king. Then I find myself in a tizzy trying to rush through the morning routine of feeding the cats and the dog, watering the front and taking a shower. Keep in mind I live 5 minutes from the office and I still manage to have to rush and worry about being late. Meanwhile, in the back of my head all I'm thinking is, I REALLY WANT COFFEE! To waste 10 minutes driving out of my way to sit in the drive thru of Starbucks would be the most wonderful thing at this particular moment in time... But no, that's not what is on the TO DO list this morning or any other morning because I cannot have enough self control to get of out of bed in a timely manner.
”Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time for that is the stuff life is made of.“ - Benjamin Franklin
I imagine what life would be like if I were a stay at home mom. I would have purpose and reason to wake up in the morning to get the kids ready, make lunches and carpool for summer activities like swim practice or day camp. I would have TIME for myself to run and get a cup of coffee and get home to take care of daily chores. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for the working woman getting out there to earn a living... all part of the daily grind. But honestly, I do not want it... Those working women can HAVE it. I dream of a life of planting flowers, going grocery shopping and cooking dinner. But for now... I will have to sit in my cubicle and dream of those things. For those are thoughts of the future.
For time and the world do not stand still. Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or the present are certain to miss the future.- John F. Kennedy
