24/52 (part two) - June 12th : the world is turning

Lately I've been very reflective. I've really been considering, Am I using my time wisely? I mean, I'm not saying every little thing I do has to be huge steps for humanity, or anything, but that doesn't mean that it's okay to lie around on the computer all day (which I don't. Honest.) listening to music and browsing pinterest. So I've been asking myself a lot lately, is this gaining anything for me? And don't get me wrong, I can take a little bit of break now and then and just relax. but is that my every moment? Because that should stop. At the same time, I shouldn't try to rush a something and do a shoddy job. Actually, that's losing me time. A lot of time, probably. And experience, and lots of other great things like that that are very beneficial long term, but are hard to do short term.

 Anyway, in reference to that, these lyrics have been going through my head. Takin' My Time by Susan Ashton...

The world is turnin’
Telling me to hurry on
You gotta run to get ahead
Try to take the things you want
But when the sun begins to set
So many things I haven’t done yet

Oh, but I won’t worry
‘Cause there’s no hurry
The world’s not passin’ me by
‘Cause the Lord he knows
Just where each day goes
I know He won’t leave me behind
And I won’t be bringin’ a single thing
That my heart can’t carry inside
‘Cause I’m goin’ home
And I’m only takin’ my time

The weight of worry
Is never worth the price
Of a world of treasures
That can never satisfy
But I know Heaven's up ahead
Where the best is yet to come

So I won’t worry
‘Cause there’s no hurry
The world’s not passin’ me by
‘Cause the Lord he knows
Just where each day goes
I know He won’t leave me behind
And I won’t be bringin’ a single thing
That my heart can’t carry inside
Lord I’m goin’ home
And I’m only takin’ my time

Go give it a listen! and also...What have you been reflecting on lately? What's a song that has really inspired you in reference to your reflection?

Also, for future reference, those are favorite sandals of mine. If you've met me (not in months November through February) then I'd bet a couple bucks you seen them (or my matching red ones which I got three or four years ago.) Talk about girl's best friend. I literally wore them into October (even a couple warm days in winter) and come march, those babies were right back in my room. But seriously, they're like 16 bucks at target and are so sturdy and comfy and so dang cute, go do yourself a favor and buy some...*coughcough* and no, I wasn't sponsored by Target to write that poetry. (I wish.)
