Where does the time go and why are we all so busy? I started a blog on Monday night with the good intention on adding photos every day for the whole week. I am scratching that and changing to every Monday for a month.

Why are so many rushing all the time? When I was in the Army I often heard the saying “hurry up and wait.” That can hold true for so many aspects of our lives.

When I was a child, I wanted to be older. I believe most children want this, and in today’s world it seems as though adults want children to grow up faster too. Why the rush? When I was a child (I was born in 1969) we simply played all day until we started Kindergarten, and then in Kindergarten we went only a half-day. Now, parents are putting children in programs before school so that they can read and do math by Kindergarten. As a parent you almost have to do this just to keep up….what happened to letting kids be kids? If kids want to play baseball or some other sport in high school they have to start early to be competitive by their teen years.

In a hurry and can’t possibly fathom the idea of making a meal for your family? Mc Donald’s and other fast food restaurants are there for you, but sadly it seems that this cycle is helping you speed up another processes as well—death. With so many eating high fat high cholesterol convenience foods more Americans are now being diagnosed with diabetes, heart problems, and such that stem from being over weight because we were in too much of a hurry to make a healthy meal.
I try each day to slow down but it just seems impossible in this fast paced world we are living in. If we keep on rushing to build bigger and better when will we hit the ceiling and not be able to go further and how will we all react?

I am so busy with things to do and in a hurry to get them started that I have resorted to copying parts of an old blog of mine and pasting them in this blog. Today I need to catch up on reading the hundreds of posts (similar to e-mails) from fellow students in my five classes, I need to drive into Houston to sign a paper on the new house, I need to go grocery shopping, at 4 p.m. I want to take my kids to a thing at the public library, I need to help the kids with homework, make dinner, I need to work on a speech, and begin a writing a paper, and go to a meeting. And, the funny thing this is my day off, an easy day if you will.

So, in this world of crazy hectic busy schedules I am wondering to myslef, did you read this whole post or are you in a hurry too?

Until next time,

JB
