Time



Why is there never enough time to do the things I want to do? I have been trying to post a blog for weeks now but.... They say computers can save so much time doing things for you. Well I'm on computers all day and I don't ever have any more time available from all the time I supposedly saved. Where did it go?

I take 1/2 hour for lunch each day. I have about 3 hours worth of stuff I want to do in that 1/2 hour. I try to walk at least three times a week. It is also the time I have to write my blogs. It is also the time I have to read other's blogs.

I finally took the plunge and joined Facebook. Not knowing exactly what Facebook was I went ahead and clicked on most of the people it suggested to be my friends. After all I knew them. It would now take me days to read all the facebook entries that show up on my home page. How do I get rid of "friends" so I don't have to wade through all the frivolous entries to finally find one with some substance?

I also like to use my lunch hour to work on my lesson for Sunday. As you can see 1/2 hour a day doesn't go far enough to do all the things I want to do. What about evenings, you say. Well, after work I really want to get on the elliptical machine and exercise for 1/2 hour. That doesn't always happen. I sometimes still have to work at home. If I don't have to work, I have visiting teaching or Temple or some other meeting to go to. Occasionally, there isn't anything planned and I just want to watch a little TV.

What are the favorite things I would rather do with all the time I should be saving by working on computers so much? Mainly I would love to visit and play with grand children. I would love to go to lunch with family and friends. I would like to curl up and read a good book. I would like to sleep more. I think I would even like to travel and see new things.

Well, it is time for me to save more time so I had better get back to my computer.
