Could We Just Have More Time in a Day?

There is always so much to do, to get, to clean, to read, etc. I feel like I am running around like crazy most days and it is not often that I feel accomplished. I get up at the crack of dawn, get dressed, drive an hour to work, and start working. All the while I am thinking about all the other things that I need to do. Of course, they do pay me to be there and to work, so even though I can get some things done like making phone calls or paying bills during the day, I do have to be productive there.

When I leave work, it is very rare for me to be able to just drive home without having to make a stop somewhere, i.e., the grocery store, post office, and of course…..the gym.

Yeah, I have been working on losing weight and getting in a shape other than round. I joined a gym to help. Don’t get me wrong, the gym is a great place. The classes are fun and the instructors are great. It is just hard to fit that extra time in the day. They (and you know who you are) say that going to the gym should become routine. So far, it has not. I am glad when I go, but I don’t want to go, if that makes any sense.

If I had more time in my day, would I get to sleep more? Read more? Sew more? Somehow I doubt it. I am sure that I would find other ways to fill my time. I would need to clean the house, weed the garden, mow the grass or do laundry. More time does not necessarily equal more rest; in fact, it could mean quite the opposite.

To Blog or Not to Blog

I am starting a blog ostensibly to channel my creative energy.  I love reading other people's blogs and hope that I can spark some interest for others as well.  At the very least, I will be able to put some of my many thoughts and ramblings down on "paper" to help keep myself sane. 

I work for a large title insurance corporation in the recoupment department.  Simply, that means that I work to recoup the losses of the company.  It is sort of like being in collections.  I like researching and figuring out the complicated puzzle that is title insurance.

After 10 years and 3 degrees, I completed school last May.  Of course, I am still learning.  I feel it is very important to always continue learning.  So far, I do not miss being in school, but I do miss writing assignments.  That was my favorite part of being in school, writing.  If I could choose one passion, that is what it would be. 

I know it is possible, more than possible really, to make a living writing.  Maybe someday I will try my hand at that.  Someday.  Maybe writing this blog will give me the confidence to try.  I do write articles for an online local community website SearchAmelia just for fun.  I like seeing my articles published.  I am able to write about anything that pops into my head.  Sometimes I just write about local happenings.  I try to relate everything to the people that live in my area. 

Enough of my rambling already.  Obviously I have decided to blog.  I am not sure who I am trying to convince.  Here goes......
