From Calvin and Hobbes (Bill Watterson); “There’s never enough time to do all the nothing you want to do.” I feel this way, when I finally turn in late at night.
From my earliest years, I was pried out of bed around 5:00 a.m. My folks were very devout Pentecostal church goers and we probably averaged 5 nights a week of being out late. Sometimes very late. (We never missed a revival or any sort of meeting within driving distance- no matter how old and prone to flat tires and engine failures our old vehicle might be.)
This sleep deprivation lasted almost my entire adult life, what with a household of four children and a child-like husband to care for, while maintaining a career
So, my great joy now is to sleep until I awake naturally. And have nothing planned.
I was lucky to have time to decompress after the rat race and just chill. Something between boredom and a nagging sense of purpose stirred me up to get out and about, but I found a lot of very, very good people. It's like catching a second wind and not needing to run so hard.
Been retired 20 years. I always say, I have nothing to do and all day to do it. 😊

"child-like husband"....I have one of those....lol
Kind of makes me wish there was a "dislike" / "sadface" button to express my disapproval on behalf of husbands everywhere.
Guys, don't be a burden on your wives! 😱
And wives, be ye not burdens on your husbands : )
You've earned your joy and great that you share it. Thank you.
Some say, “I did nothing today, and it took all day to do it.”
