Hurry, Hurry, Hurry...
My dear friend from the Netherlands was here last week. When she comes we fill our days with all kinds of fun adventures including good food, a Broadway show or two, and more than a few walkabouts. This trip was no different. However, on the day I took off from school to spend with my friend I noticed the two of us were rushing around to get ready for the day as if we had to be somewhere and were running late. I mentioned this to her and said, "why is it we do this?" We had planned for an easy day--a run to Trader Joe's and Target for treats she can't get in Holland, a movie, and a stop for fries at Bareburger. She shared with me that she does this often, this rushing about to get ready. We added that we both make lists of things we want to remember and to do, so we don't forget or to just get it out of our brain. For me, I think this rushing about comes from this idea that I don't want to waste a single moment of any day, especially those of my vacation ...
