One of my favorite books on all of this is Ecclesiastes. It is always nice to step back from life and get a different perspective on things.

Maybe it is the older I get the easier it is to wimp out and not do things (like learning to sail or surf or scuba dive because I'm really really bad at looiking like a dork) ... but when looking at it this way, it only makes to do anything...<BR/>I guess I didn't take his speech to mean you *must* do anything, but just to have the courage to do what you *want* to do... maybe that's *not* buy a house (or have kids or retire or ??) if that saps too much energy, because in the end, you'll be dead, homeowner or not. <BR/>I'm getting old, what can I say. For me, getting older=having less energy=not working so hard at things that really do interest me=being disappointed in myself. Hmm. There's a nice ramble for you!Left Coast Sisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17207579518745638843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16697270.post-88133220835735871442007-07-09T11:28:00.000-07:002007-07-09T11:28:00.000-07:00i do see what you're saying miss tallerthanubut i ...i do see what you're saying miss tallerthanu<BR/>but i think what i got out of it<BR/>was why waste your time doing things you don't even like doing?<BR/>(changing diapers excluded<BR/>& honestly after dirty diaper #102 you don't even notice it any more:)<BR/>of course you always have to do things you don't want to<BR/>but for the most part you CAN choose<BR/>you may have to alter your lifestyle<BR/>make more time to do things that you love<BR/>or are really important<BR/>make less money<BR/>look like a dork<BR/>but i don't think you would regret it...<BR/>i really believe this<BR/>even if i'm not exactly living it right this second<BR/>& there are holes in my theory<BR/>i also think that the things that you listed are<BR/>things that happen no matter what you are doing so why not be doing something you love while you are getting married, having kids, saving, retiring?<BR/><BR/>& in fact i do have an article for that<BR/>psalm 46:10<BR/>psalm 23<BR/>jeramiah 29:11<BR/>& many more in that great little book<BR/>:)<BR/><BR/>love you...emilyruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064321946850419544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16697270.post-36363444753172811762007-07-09T08:52:00.000-07:002007-07-09T08:52:00.000-07:00It is interesting that you would have posted this....It is interesting that you would have posted this...I constantly feel like I am trying to out run death. To get done those things that I "must" do before there is not more time. <BR/>graduate college<BR/>get a job<BR/>get married<BR/>buy a house<BR/>have kids<BR/>save for retirement<BR/>retire<BR/>relax???<BR/><BR/><BR/>The problem? You stop enjoying the now because you are so afraid you will not get it all done. <BR/><BR/>I want to be able to sit and truly do nothing, achieve nothing, be still. <BR/><BR/>Got an article for that?Mrs.Kate.Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04849672331400126286noreply@blogger.com
