A Pensive Post

[davidbcoe]

Is there ever a time when things aren't rushed, when a thousand different tasks, commitments, projects, and such aren't clamoring for our attention?  I mean, yeah, okay -- vacation.  But I'm not sure that counts.  This isn't even a particularly crazed time, but it feels like I've got too many things to do and not enough hours in the day

Welcome to middle age! (Hope you do get moments of laughter--that's what preserves the sanity.)

[davidbcoe]

Thanks, Sherwood. Yes, my wife and I do a lot of laughing, often at the expense of our children, who will understand in, oh, 25 years or so.

[davidbcoe]

Exactly -- nothing earth-shattering. Just the stuff that wears on you. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks, Alis. Just made my reservations for San Diego. You'll be there, right?

Excellent! I remember meeting your daughter and thinking she was every bit as cool as her Mom!

[catsparx]

I don't recall 'carefree' but how well I remember 'too stoopid to work out what was actually going on'

[davidbcoe]

Actually, that fits me to the letter. Then and now....

I think we have times like you describe...but we have glorious times, too. Times filled with wonder and joy...even the small wonders and joys that comes from loving our families.

That makes it all worthwhile.

[davidbcoe]

Absolutely, Jagi. I have those times, too, and I do my best to recognize and appreciate them. Yesterday was filled with other stuff.

[arhyalon]

Yeah. I have days like that, too. ;-)
