Pondering With a Purpose

Thursday again! Time to do a little "pondering" with Brenda from Ponderings of an Author.

Her rules are really easy:

1. Grab the Pondering with a Purpose Badge (in her sidebar)

2. Look at the week's prompt

3. Post something on your blog that relates to the prompt - it can be a story, a poem, a picture -- anything you want it to be.

4. Go back here and add the URL from your post to the linky list on Brenda's.

5. Go check out the other bloggers who have added their links to the list.

6. AND most of all.... Have fun!

This Week's prompt:               Killing time
I haven't had much time to kill in the past 30 years! I have a really hard time "doing nothing." I feel guilty. I feel lazy. I go looking for something to do, something that needs cleaning. Why is that? I find that even when I do sit down for a few minutes, I am reaching for a crochet hook - something I can do while sitting there. I think it comes partially from habit - I've always worked, in fact I worked 7 days a week for 8 years straight when the kids were in school. I've always been "running" trying to find the time to do the normal domestic things that every mother has to do and simply did not have time to be idle. Now that the kids are gone, I'm still pretty busy between working full time and taking classes- not to mention trying to remodel a house. I like to think that staying active helps me to stay more alert, not necessarily young, but not in the rocking chair either.
