(lygenztia *81) Is busy good?

Ever notice that everybody that you run into nowadays is "busy"? C'mon..don't tell me you haven't.
Bump into someone at the grocery store and ask them..."How you doing?"
Answer? "busy"
Not good..or fine, or fantastic.

The response is always ..."busy".

Canadians have evolved. I can remember (and it's not that long ago) when we took pride in doing nothing. Lazy, hanging out..drinking..doing as little work as possible.

That has all changed. We run, we scurry, we hustle...we go from dropping the kids off to school, to work to getting home stuff done on the computer (at work), to getting stuff done on our lunch hour..to rushing home to get to the gym..then home to get supper ready..help the kids with homework, clean up supper..get them to hockey..get home do some laundry and some volunteer work..catch a half hour of TV..then bed.

Busy. Crazy busy. Always in perpetual motion....

But, is it good? We force ourselves to be so busy...we make all the hustle and bustle happen. But, would the sun still rise tomorrow morning if we weren't quite so busy?

Probably.

Productivity is good. Working hard is good. Making the wheels of the machine turn is very important.

But if the wheel isn't balanced...it comes off the axle.

Work hard. Play hard. But don't let busy over-take you. Everything will be there tomorrow....including the sunrise.
