Back in the saddle
Well, I've been sick :(
Being sick is rough because it makes me really really want to do stuff. It's funny because most days I struggle to want to do stuff even though I'm physically capable; I guess you really don't know what you have until it's gone!
Anyway, I'm back on the blog train. Being sick actually turned out to be a blessing in disguise. We (my wife was sick too) had to cancel our weekend plans but we're feeling a lot better today so we get a rare Saturday that's totally open! We slept in, made a huge breakfast, and have had some downtime to do chores and just lay around the house. I started my yearly battle with the giant carpet of leaves on our front lawn, vacuumed the house, and am now sitting to write this post.
Being unhurried is such a precious thing. It's something that we're all ironically working ourselves to the bone to get. Why don't we build our societies and systems around being unhurried, instead of around maximizing arbitrary metrics? I ask myself this often. But maybe it's like getting sick. You don't know you need to be unhurried until you get the chance to slow down.
