Cashy tells me that I should cultivate the skill of idleness.
I find it very difficult to sit around doing nothing.
I am not a great TV watcher......unless it is something absolutely rivetting. To me, that is sitting doing nothing.
I can sit and read...if the TV is switched off.......which is rarely in our house, unless himself is out, then I hit the red button that says OFF.
I can sit and do puzzles, or play games on my DS.
I can spend time on my computer, playing around with photo's or reading the posts on Accyweb.......these are all sedentary pursuits, they all require you to do something.
Other than that, I like to be busy.......but like to choose the things I am being busy with.
The wardrobes could really do with a good clear out, but I am particularly bad at being busy doing this.........the airing cupboard could do with being tidied out.......but I don't want to be busy doing that either. I can shut the door on the higgledy piggledy linen, and once the door is shut I can forget about the mess contained inside.
I could really do with having a purge on the books that ihave acquired, but like the wardrobes...I find it hard to get rid of books...it feels like getting rid of friends.
The only time I can really sit about doing nothing is when (on the odd times) I am Ill....and then the nothing I do,is usually from the horizontal position
So today, I am busy, not doing nothing.
But thanks for the advice Cashy
