Wasted Time
I just spent the entire afternoon staring at the ceiling. After putting my daughter to sleep and reading my phone, I just couldn’t find the strength to get up and get back to work. My laptop takes too long to load so I figured what’s a couple of minutes more. Work can wait, but my thoughts will not. Not that I have very deep issues to think about but I suddenly feel like everything can stand still and I wouldn’t care. At that moment, my bed is my sanctuary and my daughter sleeping beside me gives me the much needed calm.
Of course, now that I’m up and working, I regret wasting an hour doing nothing. Work is always piling up, which I’m very thankful for and although they won’t go anywhere, I could do with an early log off tonight so I can enjoy my favorite TV shows and spend time with my husband.
I am not managing my time wisely, I know. But like I said, moments like this don’t happen very often and I’m allowing it only because I think I deserve it for working so hard.
no worries. moments spent with those you hold dear, even when doing nothing at all, is never wasted time.
i would give anything to be in your shoes, than having to spend day in and day out away from the people i love most. you are blessed.
I understand. Sometimes we just want to relax and put a stop to everything.. if only our world can stand still for a moment. I guess that’s the feeling we get when we feel tranquil, and like what you did, sleeping beside your sleeping daughter.
I also have lots of things on my hands, I am also no good with time management. I’m taking each day at a time and trying to make each moment memorable. I sometimes feel harassed for trying to do so many things at a time, but I guess that’s my karma for not doing anything significant when I was younger. ^^ hehe
