Nothing New Under the Sun
It’s a ‘new’ year! We want each year to be better than the last. We want it full of health and wealth. We want new beginnings. Logically though we know it is just another day. Calendars are reminders of the time of year, meetings, appointments, and daily living. We become slaves to the calendar. There are times I wonder what the daily routine was like before calendars and clocks.
“Oh, look dear, the sun is directly above us. We must eat now.”
“You promised to have some meat ready for dinner when the shadows of the tall trees reached the garden.”
“Did you set the rooster so he would crow early in the morning?”
The thoughts run rampant in my mind, however people most likely didn’t think in those terms. They ate when hunger, slept when sleepy, and woke when rested. Aren’t these the same reasons we look forward to vacations?
Just the rambling of a tired woman who will now go set her alarm clock to wake her up so she can be at work on time and count the minutes until time to leave. Oh, don’t get me wrong. I really like my job. It would be excruciatingly worse if I did not.
This year I am going to do some writing that will be categorized as Soapbox or maybe Things that make me go hmmmm…
Do hope 2010 brings you much happiness. Be kind to others and yourself. Take some “time” to not worry about time. Eat when you feel hungry, sleep when you feel tired, and wake up when you are rested.
Until next time…
