"Idleness, like kisses, to be sweet must be stolen."
Jerome K. Jerome
Late 19th century, early 20th century English writer
Very true.
I most appreciate "down time" when I "steal" it in the middle of intense periods of work.
Very Type A I know but true nonetheless.
Plus I like the fact that when it came to naming their son, the Jeromes apparently had a sense of whimsy.
I suppose this is because we want what we can't have don't you think?
ReplyDeleteI do, at least some of the time. Given the cost there are a lot of cars I can't have but don't want anyway.
ReplyDeleteI was born on a Saturday and it is said that a Saturday child works hard. If so maybe I have an over developed need to work, which I enjoy doing (at least most of the time.)
I do know I much more enjoy leisure when it comes after and before work.
