Time

It's all about the sands of time isn't it?

Books remain unread, Cd's are still unplayed, Dvd's remain unwatched and the piles of stuff to do for my Counselling diploma just gets bigger, it's a good job I can take a break at work and catch up on things!

I just wish I had more time to concentrate on things I want to do - the actual stuff of life but as ever the treadmill of work, daily routines and fatigue are ever present, seemingly a constant force keeping us in check from doing what we desire the most. When we get free time we often waste it on leisure pursuits, socialising or the escapism of sleep.

Sometimes I'm my own worst enemy as I sit there playing video games or watching the television but I guess that is a therapy we need too.

In an ideal world I'd have a cottage by the sea and I could just sit and read, write a novel, try my hand at painting or just sit back and settle down to watch the massive plasma screen television I'd have installed !!!!

I feel the same thing my friend. Life gets in the way of art. Guess it's part of living in this imperfect world but those moments of creation or inspiration or just plain relaxation make it all worth while i think.
