My, But We Are Busy

So much stress Constant pressure Customers to please Deadlines to meet Bills to pay Obligations to keep Overflowing inboxes Affairs to attend Presents to buy Meals to plan Shopping, shopping Carpools to drive Concerts, movies, plays... My, but we are busy aren't we? How can we make time for the important things in life when we are busy 24/7? Where have we come from? Where are we headed? What are we doing with our lives?

You forgot raking leaves, which took up my entire weekend. : ) Life is hectic, especially around the holidays. Nicely done my friend.

Hey, you're right! ... So, our lawnmowing service also rakes our leaves now, and 'out of sight, out of mind.' (So true in my case, as I am, for sure, out of my mind). ~ Gershon

I think we find the good in it after the end. Crazy and busy but do take a breath, my friend! :)

That's right---i.e., after the end. Here's to smelling the roses once in a while along the way! Appreciate your feedback, Kim! Season's best. ~ Gershon

How true Gershon, rush rush rush is all you see these days, people need to come up for air. No wonder there's so much stress about. Tom.
