Not long ago, someone commented to me that I’m “always busy.” It made me wonder what “not busy” would look like in my life.
I wouldn’t be so busy if….
…I didn’t have a Bible to read the first thing every morning.
…I didn’t have a devoted husband to spend weekend days with.
….I didn’t have a daughter to help get settled in a new apartment.
… I didn’t have a son to talk things over with.
…I didn’t have two horses to ride… feed… water… clean up after… how sad would that be?
… I didn’t have Bible verses to memorize.
… I didn’t have a precious friend who sends me her newly published books to read.
… I didn’t have a brother who is glad to see me when ever I drop in.
… I didn’t have sisters, nieces and nephews to blog-visit.
… I had no flowers to water.
… I didn’t have a friend giving me excess tomatoes from his garden to can.
… I didn’t have blog buddies to keep up with.
… I didn’t have a job to keep me occupied Monday through Friday.
… I didn’t have a new recipe to try.
… I didn’t have a quilt to finish.
… I didn’t have a camera and images to make with it.
… I didn’t have awesome music cd’s to listen to.
… I didn’t have a good church to attend and a great preacher to listen to.
… I wasn’t singing with a Gospel Quartet.
And since I am not ready to give any of those things up, I guess I’ll be content to be busy.
And that’s all I can think of right now.
What would “not busy” look like for you?

Being busy is good -- especially if part of being busy is using time to be grateful for the kinds of things you have listed.
Thank you, Elizabeth and welcome to OSM!
I know now why I am so busy. But it seems that you are busier than I ever could be. :-)
You are one busy lady!

I feel the same way - there is nothing I do that I'd want to give up. Except maybe for housework, but I tend to be pretty liberal with my dusting standards.
Not busy would be boring. Although I would like to skip things like dusting and vaccuumming. These things are easier to put off than mowing the lawn.
Great post J. Don't change a thing. Your life sounds perfect.
I don't think I've ever heard of not busy....
C'mon, no one is that busy. Post something.
