So often I feel liek the only messages I'm getting are "You should be getting more done! No time to relax! Must complete never-ending to-do list!" It gets to the point where I almost feel guilty for doing simple things like reading, meditative thought, or even watching a good movie. All the magazines and talk shows are always giving ways to "do more" by "uncluttering" your life, and what that idea essentially comes down to is getting rid of anything creative, anything relaxing, anything meditative, really just anything that is personal or requires introspection. All of our energies are expected to be spent outward - doing things for other people. The silly saying, "A clean house is a sign of a wasted life," really is true. Also, I'd just like to say that I now want to start a blog to join all your lovely activities, but I'm sure it would end up just being a Magpie girl workbook. Heyyyy, there's an idea for ya. ;-) This is so important. So often I feel liek the only messages I’m getting are “You should be getting more done! No time to relax!
