I agree--not much has changed over the last 5 years. You make a good point about how busy used to mean you know how to get stuff done, but now maybe not so much. The fact is, nowadays we CAN do so many things, but "making time" (not "finding" it) and prioritizing can teach us a lot about what matters--and that it's OK to sit down and answer "how are you?" I'm glad you found this post thought-provoking. That's how I felt when I read the two articles I shared here. It changed how I think about things, so I'm glad it did the same for you. :) Jennifer Wisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12291828542979514400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5470731358731512901.post-82940824077816007372024-03-17T19:48:09.452-06:002024-03-17T19:48:09.452-06:00I don't think much has changed in the world as...I don't think much has changed in the world as far as our "busy-ness" goes since you first published this article. :-( It sounds like when we ask someone, "how are you doing?" we're really asking, "how busy are you?" or at least that's what they are hearing. There used to be a piece of wisdom about if you wanted something to get done, ask a busy person to do it - because they are the ones that can manage their time and make stuff happen. I'm not sure that's true any more, especially if they are "too busy to be productive". You've given me plenty to think about as far as my own busy schedule and the things that I make time for. It really is all about our priorities.

Whether we are "busy" with a lot to do or not, we all have something. For me, I liked the challenge to stop saying "busy" as the response to "how are you?"

I found it interesting that nostalgia changes as we age, and I wonder if your daughter will feel differently 20 or 40 years from now. I know that when my mom passed away, it really stuck out to me that photos are all I have left of her, and my memories of her. So I made sure to record them both because they are what I can go to when I can't call her. It's that way with pictures of my grandparents, too. I'm glad you are still taking answer #2 to heart. Sometimes preserving photos and memories is as much for us as it is for anyone else. Jennifer Wisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12291828542979514400noreply@blogger.com
