Idle Time…
Choose to idle away many hours
Sitting out in my garden of flowers
It’s my own time to waste
Any guilt is erased
As I soak up each plant’s healing powersI enjoy not just colour but scent
As I savour the time that is spent
In the fresh airy breeze
Doing just as I please
Sitting quietly, smiling, content…

What a nice poem to go with a nice thought. To be busy doing nothing … and enjoying doing it.
We need to have a good balance.
