The Price Is Right

Isn't it interesting how the best things in life really don't cost you much money, if any, it's more about the time and sometimes the sweat required of you. The sweat part can be hard, especially with weight training, but how it makes you feel is totally worth it. It's finding the time to do anything that is becoming the most precious of commodities. As the family keeps growing, as the job becomes more and more hectic, as friends' lives become more hectic, you have to grab at any opportunity to actually spend time with people, go to special events, complete the two year old project, water the plants...you get the picture.

The whole concept of the time machine becomes more and more enticing but the realization you're actually missing out on what's happening in the place you were originally mars the attraction. Now, if you could stop time, that would be something else entirely or find one of those wrinkles in time. That's why reading period pieces or watching videos of same are so refreshing. It feels just a tiny bit like time travel, that is if you have much in the way of imagination. And no, I'm not talking about these although I used to barrel through them because they required absolutely no thinking, they simply provided escape. The problem with them is, everyone of them started to sound like that last. They went beyond predictable. I don't know how the authors can keep writing them because there are no new plots, they've all been done before.

Anyway, I need to grab what's left of my time this evening and get some things done. Same o, same o.
