life is so busy these days - for everyone. work, school, family, housekeeping, errands... we're so busy, our minds are so overloaded with thoughts and information that we forget many things.
we often forget to take time for ourselves. we need to balance our lives - time for necessities, time for problem solving, and time for PLEASURE! if stress outweighs fun for too long, we may lose our good health and our happiness.
the things i do for fun include reading, watching tv and movies, talking to friends and family, taking photos, writing, and traveling. what do you do for fun? make some time this week to do one of those things. pay attention to how you feel during and after the fun. enjoy the moments!
i thought these quotes were appropriate:
The secret of life is enjoying the passing of time.
– James Thurber
Appreciate the present hour…. Sit and hear your own breathing and look out on the universe and be content…. One does not have to do something to pass the time; time can pass by itself.
– Lin Yutang
take time to work, it is the price of success.
take time to think, it is the source of power.
take time to play, it is the secret of perpetual youth.
take time to read, it is the foundation of wisdom.
take time to be friendly, it is the road to happiness.
take time to love and be loved, it is the privilege of the gods.
take time to share, life is too short to be selfish.
take time to laugh, laughter is the music of the soul.

Hey, Sweetie! Thanks for the thoughtful comments and ideas. The kids and I hiked through a corn maze tonight. We had a blast getting lost and looking for treasure coins. The flowers you'd sent me for my birthday are still beautiful ! Thanks soooo much!
Love and Hugs, Marti
