Somewhere in the late 20th century we got the idea that busyness is a virtue. We decided that the more activities we can squeeze into our lives, the happier we’ll be. What ultimately results, though, is physical and spiritual exhaustion. We jump from one appointment to another, our body and mind racing. We schedule events back to back and overlapping, with no time to rest or reflect. And when we are in one activity, we’re either distracted with the thing we’ve just done or the thing that’s coming up. It’s not a good way to live.

I started removing “busyness” from my life years ago… one by one. And I’m much happier now for doing so. Now I have time to truly enjoy the things I love.
Once this moving business is finally done, then the busyness will be thrown out with the bath water.
Sorry that I haven’t been commenting on your blog that much, as the moving and the unusual hot weather we’ve been having, tuckered me out. go on…
S’all good. I know what’s going on. And having just moved myself, have recently experienced the exhaustion. No worries about the comments. I’m just missing your political cartoons….
Thanks for understanding. I’ll see what I can do about the political cartoons, which probably be next week. go on…
Don, i have long thought that “doing nothing” is a lost art, and one which i practice, continue…
“Doing nothing” is a good thing. go on…
