Anyhow, keeping with my blog-mantra of everyday counting I am trying to remain positive. I have noticed already the (very small) interest that looking out the window at a time of day when Im usually unable to is in fact quite interesting. Instead of the usual commuters I see pregnant women, dustbin men, shop sellers, birds on barbed wire catching up... I start day dreaming about where everyone started their day, where they're headed, how they feel? have they had flu?... My main issue with stopping is not doing anything worthwhile or time efficient., whatever I seem to think that is?! I don't know if this stems from busy parents or my own pride at being self dependent. As I've grown up I've realised that rushing achieves nothing. When I travel I see how whole days can pass in the third world when tasks are taken on in such a considered manner, there is no time, deadline, outer deadline...it is just assumed that in order for something to be done well, it shall be done as and when and respect is given to that, like a mutual trust of knowing someone cares about what they're doing. Here if you rush or do something super quick you're a star - if you take time you are struggling/time wasting... Im not going to stop however I do think slowing down has its advantages...
