I don’t know how did it get this way but everything is so fast and everybody is so busy that sometimes i can’t even tell what day of the week it is. So more than ever the good old Friday is really Shangri-la. We arrive home with our feet sore and our minds spinning. It starts the process of slowing down. It starts the process of becomming a husband again and maybe even take my wife on a date. What is hard is to find energy to do that. The bars are all packed and the traffic is crazy. Everyone wants to get home for the weekend. It’s time to start to remember i’m not exercizing and i’m not eating well either. It’s time to remember i gotta take care of myself. So making plans for next week is in order. Time to remember of our parents and the fact we have to see them more often. It’s so unfair when we don’t have the weekend of. I think we really need this time of the week to recharge and get ready for a new one. Lately i’m forcing my self to think about long term. I’m using my weekend to do something i can’t during the week. To be able to look for the whole year and the whole month and the whole life. To understand if i’m late or maybe going the wrong direction.
It is not fair when we do not get the weekend off you spelled it of by mistake. I should have been an editor. I got side tracked here…Have you ever seen the movie The Red Violin and if so what did you think of it please?
The 21st century….in a sentence….it’s a busy time to be alive. I find that life is a continiuous act in motion. Going from one obligation to another. Trying to plan a moment to maybe ride a bike, or see a play etc. It all takes intense planning. Whatever happened to a life of spontaneity? Our only hope is to find the micro moments. We must learn to embrace the mundane as well. And when we do find the time for a “Superbowl” event….enjoy it.
I agree with you so much!!! I really live for the mundane details and the micro moments. I think those are the more important things to my sanity right now…
Every dy for me now is a Saturday. Believe me, you dont want that to happen to you. After 3 long years of it, I would give just about anything to be busy and active as I once was.
Sometimes, we do wish for things to be different without ever realising that what we wish for we would not really want.
The moral is, be careful, very careful what you wish for, you might just get it.
I get what you mean Tino. I really don’t wish to have all my time off. If i’m able to keep my weekends free that’s perfect. What do you like to do with your time? Photograph, painting, workout? The blogging part i already know and admire…
Yes, we all need time to ‘smell the roses’.
To be able to look for the whole year and the whole month and the whole life. To understand if i’m late or maybe going the wrong direction:

WRITING HELPS …
We all have these days. It is good the take the time to reflect.
Yes!!! Happy Mother’s day!!
My son and I took a 6 mile bike ride today for Mother’s Day. He is five years old and he did it with no training wheels.
Congratulations!!! It sounds amazing!!! Happy mother’s day!!!
The outcome was well worth all of the effort that we put in to putting bikes together and buying scooters and knee pads and helmets and elbow pads, a skate board, etc… He has master the wheels thing.
Sure!!! I hope you took many pictures… I will remember this day over the years…
Yes, but he is so amped up about bike riding that he is having trouble winding down. It is 7pm, the sun is high and setting. I still need to make dinner. I had to call his grammy over to help. She is on her way. Ezra was just calling me crazy. He is very upset, because I will not get back on my bike and do another ride with him. Being a parent is not an easy job, but I think that fathers do make it much easier and more wonderful.
