I pretty much did nothing today. Isn't that what life is? Doing a lot of nothing that actually makes up something that makes up a life? Every so often a baby will be born or a couple will marry or someone dies and then we sit up and take notice. Until the, just a lot of nothing turning into days and weeks. For me, nothing is going to the library, cooking meals, driving around, eating sushi or reading a few blogs. It is watching Netflix, talking on the phone, planning, bathing, paying bills and sleeping. And hundreds of other nothings.
Tomorrow will be another day of nothings. Taking my daughter to the ferry, buying a curtain rod, taking my son to get shoes...
And on it goes.
I think of the reportedly Chinese Curse 'May you live in interesting times' with horror. Dull is ok. Sometimes dull is excellent.
ReplyDeleteHow can your nothing be my something?
ReplyDeleteIt is admirable that you can get you son to go shopping. That is definitely not a day of "nothing".
ReplyDeleteMost days are made up of a whole lot of nothing. I like those days.
ReplyDeleteBirdie- you know what? A few months ago both you and I could have had a house full of flowers and we would not have been able to enjoy them at all. We would barely have registered them.
ReplyDeleteThink about it. I am so grateful for both of us.
Hi Birdie. Do you feel like the zoloft is helping your anxiety??
ReplyDeleteYour days lately are just like mine. Less flowers. Lol!
ReplyDeleteI sometimes wish my days were full of events too, but I'm glad they aren't because I wouldn't be able to handle it.
ReplyDeleteAhh but the days, weeks, months and years of "nothings" are what get us through.. with occasional "somethings" to keep it interesting. After years of "nothing" I realize I raised two amazing kids (with their dad's help, of course), have had interesting and memorable relationships and some wonderful friends. And I do many "nothings" which I enjoy immensely. Don't sell your "nothings" short. They make up the life which is yours.. and that's a beautiful something.
ReplyDeleteMostly nothing, punctuated with a few somethings. Works for me.
ReplyDeleteDays of nothings can be a good thing!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to see flowers soon. Though each time I go to write flower, I keep writing flour. I've got grain brain.
