Time

Benjamin Franklin said:

Does thou love life? Then do not sqaunder time, for that is the stuff life is made of.

This is something that I admittedly have a problem with. Tomorrow is another day. I will do it tomorrow. But, then I end up wasting a lot of time. Others could probably get done in two hours what it would take me all day to do. I guess you could say I'm easily distracted. But, I'm encouraged not to waste time for two reasons. One, I need to find a job. Two, I have a tendency to spend time surfing the internet or watching movies instead of exercising or getting out and soaking up the sunshine.

Of course, we could take the words of Coco Chanel:

There is time for work. And there is time for love. That leaves no other time.

By this definition of time, I have no work, so all the time I have would be for love. And, I do spend some time on that. More than that, I try to spend time being positive and upbeat about the work that will come, soon, hopefully.
I realize that my current situation won't last forever, so I should be enjoying this time, but, also, try to be productive. I will look back on this time and see that it was shortlived and I don't want it to be wasted.

In three words, I can sum up everything I've learned about life. It goes on.

So, life will go on. And in the meantime, I plan on collecting some small adventures, soaking up some rays and looking for opportunities.
