Cuts Alicia Time in Half

(Title once again created by the slogan generator)

I just too some time to respond to my friend Bill's blog called "slowing down" about how people are always in too big of a hurry. I won't be writing my own blog for this evening, as I am going to be getting up earlier than usual. But please check out Bill's page and read my comment while you are there.

After reading, here are some questions to think about:

What is the pace of your life? Do you have big ups and downs? Why do you switch back and forth?

Are you always on the go? If so, why? What can you gain? What are you losing? Is it worth the time and energy spent?

Always sitting around? How does that feel, living in a society that moves so quickly?

Steady paced? What's the secret?

How does the pace of your life relate to your spirituality?

Hey Alicia...I got your message this morning. I would love to hear from you too! Is your phone number the same? I tried to call you sometime at the beginning of the year and never got a reply from you so I didn't know if it had changed. Things are pretty hectic right now but I'm enjoying nursing school...although it is very stressful and overwhelming. Did you ever get my new cell phone number? Maybe I'll give you a call sometime this weekend. There's also another website that you can check out...i don't know if you've ever heard of facebook.com but it's pretty fun. ttyl! bye!

I sent a message to my friend Julie, yesterday evening, as you can probably tell from the blog above. I'm looking forward to hearing from her, because we haven't talked in over a year.

After I read it, though, I was going to delete it, as it was just a personal message and not really in reply to my blog. However, she sort of did answer it:

For one, I did get her message last year, but with the ups and downs of my life (too busy or too lazy) I put off returning the call and then forgot about it until it was embarrassing to even think about calling her back because so much time had passed. That's one negative effect on my lifestyle - I am easily susceptible to guilt and fear.

Also, did you notice she did sort of respond?
