Time.

Time is in the new coffee.

I am not saying that time is now or soon-to-be a beverage. This is fortunate. It has, though, become a more constant consideration for me than coffee (which is saying something!). I think about it quite a bit, about how I should schedule it, what I should do and not do with it, and if I'm using it to its best advantage. I have so much I want to do with my time: raise my kids, talk to my husband, get to know and stay in touch with people, serve others, fulfill my creative and intellectual appetites, earn lotsa money so we don't get kicked out of our humble apartment, read every status update in my facebook news feed, and, this seems to happen whether I have time for it or not, just let my brain go and do something relatively useless from time to time. Oh, and sleep and eat and make myself look presentable.

I suspect that if I spend more time caring for my spiritual and physical life, it will result in a net gain overall, so I'm trying to get those things fixed up (as time allows... *cough*). I started on that this morning, actually, with a pleasant and, I think, helpful morning routine. Hopefully it will help move me in a good direction.

Anybody else not have enough time in your life? I feel like I might have heard of this difficulty before somewhere.

Oh, and about coffee: I'm cutting back again. I have a new strategy that I am fond of which involves small (and adorable) coffee cups. :)

just a little cup of coffee
