Stir Crazy

Day 6 - after round 5

Feeling pretty ordinary today... So just lounging around, sitting on the verandah listening to the world go about its business....

I must say I'm getting fed up with sitting around... You can only watch so much TV and walk around the house and yard so many times!

The buzz of the planes circling on their training flights echo around.... The sound of the traffic on the road behind ... hums past.... Courier vans drive up and down our street... People go about their daily lives....

I really miss that.... OK, I might complain about having to do this or having to do that.... Arrgh ! god I have to go to the shop again! Etc ... Etc... Jumping in the car spur of the moment... when you can't do it, it really wakes you up. Those mundane, everyday things really do make up parts of your life.

This experience has made me and my hubby rethink some parts of our lives. What really is the RUSH? OK, yes we have to work, we need to survive, and while it is nice to have all the creature comforts.... Everyone get consumed by the competition of life.....When you break it down really what's so important about having the biggest house, the fanciest car, the latest fashions?

This experience has made me rethink all of these things..... We need to just be... Be what makes US happy, BE in the moment ..... Go home, hug your kids, tell your family you love them, eat dinner on the lounge room rug, make cakes, make a mess... love, laugh and LIVE...... Because in the end it's those small things that make up the bigger picture.

Happy Monday

Xx

    My dear hubby to his credit managed to weather my onslaught of frustrated complaints of being bored out of my brain. There was no solution at the time as I was so sick and the tiredness is something else. It just engulfs you with no warning or reason for it. My son bought me several DVD mini series and although I didn't thoroughly enjoy all of them, it did help pass the time advertisement free rather than TV. Good part was I could pause or stop play and my laptop would remember exactly where I was in the viewing once I resurfaced from bed to watch some more.

    So true - in every way....

    I hope you feel better and get some enjoyable distraction soon (that TV can drive anyone nuts after a while....
