Dust Bunnies of Life

There is so much in our daily lives that takes up our energy, our actions, our thoughts, our worries, our concern, our free time and not so free time, our own time and other's time that has no value at all in the end. Most of it won't matter in a week, a month, a year or five years. There are simply better things or ways to be spending 90% of my free time and probably at least 50% of my not so free time. I kNOW there is. I waste it worrying and questioning, being angry or annoyed, hurt or feeling sorry for myself. It needs to stop.

I'm not going to spend a lot of time on introspection because that will simply lead to a lot of worry and anger, guilt and self-flagellation, self-talking and justification all of which wil result in wasting a great deal of that 90% of time I'm talking about in the first place.

What needs to happen is less time spent playing on my iPad and more time playing on the floor with Dimples. Less time spent reading novels, more time spent reading my scriptures. Less time watching TV, (even if it is toddler TV) more time knitting, less time complaining, more time on the phone with my dad. Less time talking/complainging to myself about how hard my life is and more time talking to my Father about how good it is. The only way to make a change in your life is to make a change in your life.

There is so much wasted time and energy on the useless, meaningless fluff offered by life. I'm want to clean some of the fluff from under the bed of my life.
