Namely, more scatterbrained prattle that has no categorization. I know you’ve missed it.

Lots of things happened when I decided I was too busy and too tired to write anymore.

First of all, I didn’t gain any more personal time, nor energy, nor sleep.

Then, I found myself sliding into mind-numbing stupors. Yes, this happens when I’m writing, too, and the evidence is found in the prior entries of this blog.

Finally, I found myself with more cases of the blues. With nowhere to go, the creative juice within became a toxin.

The moral of this story, is….don’t give up everything of your own, for obligations elsewhere. You won’t feel happier, more productive, more responsible, or more rested.

Naturally, I built this little epiphany up into something much more overblown. But it triggered the thought process. There are a lot of decisions to be made in life, every single day. Doughnut, or bran muffin? Go through the intersection on a yellow light, or hit the brakes? Tell the boss what you’re really thinking, or nod along mutely like any other office toady?

Your time is like that too. The sand that drains from the hourglass will never slow down. If you really think, when all is said and done, that “someday” you’ll have time to do the things you want….

…you’d better talk to the hourglass, because it doesn’t give a shit. It could cheerfully spill out all that remains of the sands of time in a sudden gush. You’d be standing there, astonished, going….”Wait! What about all that time I put off doing my personal things, because I was working, or taking care of my responsibilities at home? It’s not fair for time to run out on me!”

Tough noogies. Time, once spent, is irreplacable coin.

DAMN! That’s a good line. I oughta be a writer.

I’m working on that, actually.

And the meaning of life, lost somewhere here in my sleep-deprived ramble?

1) Help as many people as you can

2) Have some fun

There’s no one-size fits all to the meaning in life, so ponder your place in the cosmos and come up with a little ditty to sum it all up.
