My house is fully of clocks tastefully positioned on walls and occasionally sitting atop a surface. As I sit in my office or in my family room, the clocks are ticking away. Sometimes, if it is quiet enough, the ticking sound is particularly acute from any place in the room. It's a constant reminder that time is moving on.

Time stops for no one. Time is precious. There's seldom good reason not to use time wisely. Unless, of course, one is on vacation or retired or simply in need of rest. Otherwise, we probably would be smart to respect time and the time of others. Don't keep people waiting and respect yourself by not allowing others to abuse your time by keeping you waiting.

Life is precious and time is ticking.

Keep it real.

She asked me to explain my last blog in more detail. The blog was shorter than I normally would srite, but I figured it was more for me than others. That's why it is probably confusing.

Anyway, as I reflect on the boredom part of that blog, this is what comes to mind. I have an active mind, probably like most people. That is compounded by what has become normal these days: a lot of overstimulation. When the overstimulation comes to a halt, and occassionally it does, then I find myself feeling withdrawal symptoms. I can easily begin to crave for stimulation. If I don't have something urgent and important waiting to be done, I am prey to boredom. And boredom can be filled with whatever is familiar, regardless of whether that whatever is time-worthy.

That is really the problem. I need to assure myself that I recognize the withdrawal symptoms and use the time wisely. I believe that if I can get a handle on the withdrawal, I can recognize that I really don't need to do anything at all; just breathe. That would make my life very manageable.

Keep it real.
