We get involved with a lot of things at the park where we stay for the winter. This blogging business takes up AT LOT OF TIME, both in posting and following other blogs, especially if the WI-FI is not cooperating. I'm behind in reading my library books, and I'm WAY behind in my photography course, which is self-paced. So, yeah, I feel your pain. And don't EVEN talk about Christmas!

Did you notice the smell many of those books have, while turning through the pages? Hopefully it is a good one, providing you something for this sense. Sight and sound while turning pages. Taste might be found within the things you learn and feeling, maybe one of the most important ones, knowing that you do something right, something good.<br />As sixth sense, I'd like to choose 'thinking' which you surely do know well.<br />A wonderful Thursday filled with many nice moments for you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5571749075036803790.post-40102731440058870532009-11-18T17:09:40.375-08:002009-11-18T17:09:40.375-08:00Do I ever feel like this?

I have a routine that I stick to, and anything else is just flotsam and jetsam. I make priorities for reading, going for walks, being with friends, painting ... and I try not to get over-anxious about anything else. All we have to enjoy is today.<br /><br />Life is sort of like a roll of toilet paper. The closer we get to the end, the faster it goes. :-)Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03382221688268676914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5571749075036803790.post-69806651128896342312009-11-18T16:01:33.366-08:002009-11-18T16:01:33.366-08:00Well, you know the saying "time flies when yo...Well, you know the saying "time flies when you're having fun and drags when you're not".

Last night I found myself getting anxious about all the things that have to be done and how little time there is to do them, but then just consciously let go of the worry. Reminders are needed to do that regularly, and living in the present helps too. Lucky you to be busy with wonderful things like books, though.Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10892637441668897411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5571749075036803790.post-32474106530755269392009-11-18T10:00:56.379-08:002009-11-18T10:00:56.379-08:00wow! very weird your post topic [for me anyway] - ...wow! very weird your post topic [for me anyway] - i just this moment left rob and trish macgregor's site where today's post is a great story about a clock - and time - i comment there about how i don't even own a clock because i don't like the idea of time hanging around me - and that i even cover clock faces on electrical appliances - anyway, click out of there and click here - and voila! here i am reading of time again - but as to your post here - yes, i have the same problem - with books and blogs actually - i read one thing and it reminds me of something else and i go grab that book and same thing with blogs - so kinda like being on a merry-go-round! anyway, neat thought-provoking post, lady!GYPSYWOMANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03042621041213415958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5571749075036803790.post-81946285435138253362009-11-18T09:50:27.731-08:002009-11-18T09:50:27.731-08:00Only all the time Nancy.
