There are days when I resolve to accomplish certain tasks only to find that Time has gotten ahead of my schedule. While I can’t say this isn’t due to a bit of  procrastination on my part, sometimes, it seems that other tasks often interfere. Things like the weather, work, eating and sleeping and, of course, the Internet. Even being semi-retired doesn’t seem to afford all the time needed for my list of endless things to be done. I always thought that when I was home more, I would get more accomplished. That part is true, but the list of things grows faster than the done list.

One of the things on that list is to write more (often). And yet, I have discovered that it must take a space further down the list than I would like. To write this little piece, I pushed off some household chores of which I am certain to find the time for later although I must confess most any excuse for doing them later would suffice. I can still see through the slightly dirty windows and the carpet surely won’t suffer if I vacuum it tomorrow. The garbage can is on the curb and the dishwasher loaded so actually I’m in decent shape. And I can thank the weather for having a valid excuse for not getting the grass cut.

I suppose it all comes down to deciding what’s most important in the moment. Life is all about time and how you choose to live in the time you have. And that is always your choice. But don’t take too much time deciding, because time is relentless.
