Taking notes

Take note... Ahh that's the line I left and wrote nothing else I don't recall if that was for me or a rant that I didn't have Having just drank a cup of tea in a cafe and not bought the guacamole ingredients from the adjacent shop as intended I feel I should take note I might take note of the fact I'll buy the ingredients at the next shop with the children and it'll be fine Or I might take note of the fact my heart is fluttering a bit at the fact I've maybe let someone down, maybe myself The children will be none the wiser, they'll happily pick out fun stuff and it'll be great I just hold residual disappointment in myself Thinking why would I do such a thing (I sat and read poetry - this is walking and writing poetry so efficient) I invited a friend to a facial I was going to and wished her son happy birthday I checked on the details of a trip away If someone told me about that use of time I'd say they'd done nothing wrong But I feel wrong, so frequently and maybe I should take note that I shouldn't

D if this was on a blank screen with no name at all..... I would know that you wrote it, without a shadow of a doubt. Its unique, addictive (cant stop reading) it invokes clear detailed images, its colourful and decisive, and indecisive, and describes perfectly the days when we are on the go from morning til night and at the end of the day look to see what we have to show for all we achieved and the answer is NOTHING. definitely needing notes telling all we had done ! Love it !

Thank you SV. Me and my girls made a bowl of guacamole each to see who was the best. I lost because mine had chilli in :) a day well spent really. We then had burritos with all the things laid out that we'd chosen together x

ah, the effective use of time is a conundrum...one that you effectively described. Sometimes, I don't use time the way I intend and then feel a tad guilty about it. Well done, Di11y, hugs, Sara

It was a lovely day but there's a balance between efficiency and going with the flow. I'm sure efficiency is less fun, but feels more accomplished. Definitely a bit of relaxation is necessary though. Thanks for your comment x
