Time.
There’s not enough. It doesn’t exist.
We’ve all thought that, felt that, said that and believed that on random occasion, specific days and every time we attempt to follow our dreams.
And when we think in terms of days, we’re right. There are precious few hours to commute, work, parent, clean, shop and participate. When we rest our overtaxed heads on our feathery pillows at the end of a task-checking day, we do in fact deserve to sigh a deep sigh of contentment and completion.
Alright, content maybe, but complete? That’s the question of the month, of the year…of our lives, really.
Are we complete?
I truly love what has evolved to be my fundamental flannel onesie. Being a wife, being a mom, being a make-up artist, being what I’ve always meant to be.
But am I complete?
Are you?
I have penned poetry and prose on lined tattered pages, wielding a short pencil dented with teeth marks. I’ve printed my work on dot-matrix line printers and typed on a Macbook Air.
It’s been twenty-seven years.
There’s time.
Hazy Shades of Me 
And just when we think there is no time, we make time Hazy!

I have never had a problem with time because of something my wise old grandmother taught me in 1966 when I was but a youth of 11: “You always have time for those things you do first.” That’s one of my main protocols for making life work for me.

I love this, Russel Ray and intend to use it from now on. You’re right – your Grandmother was very, very wise! Thank you for sharing that.

Take time to make time (I think that comes from a song, but I’ve always liked that line) 😉

Yes, it is a song! And, a darn good mantra for life. Thank you for the reminder! :0)

Seems like we never have enough time in our lives. We never take time to breathe and enjoy life. I also don’t know if we are ever really complete.

Well, I guess as long as we have something to chase, we’re alive. :0)
