Do you ever just do nothing?

Like many, I worked every single day since I was 15, some 60 years, so to do something seems normal. Life. Raised a family of 4, built up a business, sometimes working 18 hours a day, retired looked after my other half, travelled a bit, like everyone. Now fingers crossed to enjoy good health, and looking out to sea aometime each day and writing silly poems.

I love just pottering around. I do a bit of this, a bit of that. Read the paper, check my emails, pay bills, read, watch rubbish TV. Now and again I bake, especially if I'm expecting callers or if I'm visiting a friend. It's bliss. I don't think I've ever been bored.
I'd hate to be dashing about - plenty of that went on in the past. And I absolutely refuse to be made to feel guilty . To each his own!

Having worked really hard most of my adult life, I love having the time to "do nothing". Reading, watching TV, looking out the window at the birds, squirrels, and even foxes, make me appreciate my free time even more, and I don't feel guilty, or at least, not very!!

I love doing nothing, I really enjoy sitting and contemplating. Or I may read a book or meditate. lt soothes me, I don’t feel guilty unless my husband is doing something, at the moment he is fitting a new bathroom!!

To my shame have only just got out of.bed. That’s how little I can do.

I'm still in mine.

While you are in your beds, you are saving shoe-leather .
Enjoy.

Unfortunately this spills over to children who think they must always be busy, after school activities, weekend clubs etc.
There is a world of imagination in just sitting and doing nothing or reading.

During lockdown I learnt to do nothing because I had no choice. I pottered about in the garden, did lots of reading and drawing and painting. It was a chance for me to explore myself without the demands of the modern world imposing itself upon me.
