Some days ago, while retiring from the daily chores I was cursing myself for being so rude and cruel to the most tolerant person on earth. Me. I had allowed myself all this while to give my time, energy and intellect for the need of others and guess what I got in return? A bounty of more responsibilities. Nobody bothered to ask me what I would need for myself. Work demanded, family demanded, friends demanded. Even the neighborhood puppy demanded attention. For the time being I forgot that I need to read, write, and laze around listening to ‘Country Roads’. Or just sit by my favorite window and weep. Why do I never get to realize how a day goes by? Before the fervor of the day sinks in, it’s already midnight. Suddenly I found myself running too fast to pace up with responsibilities and expectations. What if I stop for a while and let time fly away. I have no reason to blame myself if I miss a point or two in the Due Diligence Report of a Dollar-billed client or if the cooking gas gets over before time or if the electricity bill is paid late or even if the rice gets overcooked. I can still sit by my favorite window and listen to ‘Country Roads’. And perhaps also write a Blog a day.
