but think about this, why are we busy all the time? why do we always have something to do, somewhere to be, another thing to strike off our list?
bills, maybe.
let me put this forth. it is because we don't know how to be bored, or fill a vacuum of time. typically, sunday afternoons are a lull in the work week. we don't have the business of the week to keep our minds away from our lack of imagination. and so what do we do? we find something: naps, homework, reading my blog. instead, maybe try using your imagination.
if you are looking for a good book over a break, check out Man's Search For Meaning by Viktore Frankl. it's a view of a man who survived the concentration camps. he is a psychologist in logotherapy. very interesting views and commentary.
also, if you ever read back in school; 'The Giver' by Lois Lowery, it is now a trilogy. eat it up.
