Slow down

Lately I've been anxious, and wishing for more hours in a day.

Anxious because I haven't been blogging.
Cos I have rolls of film staring at me in that reproachful manner, waiting to be sent to Uncle Mike.
Cos I have stacks, stacks of magazines unread.
And books, let's not forget the books strewn all over my room.
And speaking of my room, it needs tidying.
Blogs, so many blogs I need to catch up on and discover.
Anxious because there are films I need to catch, both online and in theatres.
Because I am very behind on Kangxi.
And I keep thinking I should be out taking pictures.
Or hanging out in nice cafes flipping through my magazines.
Or in bed reading.
Anxious because I need to spend time with the mother.
But I need more time for myself.

In other words, I'm torn between living slower and living fuller. Some people have got it figured out, how to live slow and full. I can't seem to manage that. I want a piece of everything.

Of course, I am aware of the irony of my quest.

I guess the first thing to do is to stop feeling guilty or panicky that I haven't managed to do everything.

Right. The above picture is a haphazard one I took a bus ride to work using Hari (nickname for my Digi Harinezumi). Think I shall head out with him and a magazine to visit Uncle Mike.
