Life Races By

I usually read on the bus as that's the only time I get a chance to pull out my book so I do enjoy the ride and along the way I look up once or twice and take in the sights.

But day before yesterday the usual 20-30 minutes took about 12 minutes - the bus driver was in a hurry and driving quite fast and there was also very little traffic on the road, the bus was also quite empty so didn't make that many stops.

When I looked up from my book I was about 3 stops away from mine and I felt quite cheated that the ride was a short one or perhaps I was so engrossed in my book I just forgot about time. And then I got to thinking about life.

Life sometimes just races by while we are absorbed in the daily drama and we forget to actually stop and savour life. We are so intent on reaching our goals and are so dogged in our approach to reaching them that we forget that the actual enjoyment of life is the journey and not the destination and that there are so many other things in life to experience.

Note to self: Don't hurry through life, enjoy all the experiences that life brings, don't wear blinkers, look around and see the world (and I don't mean travel).

And this week it's been fun watching a lot of exciting, enjoyable entertainment - The Cricket World Cup. Even Google joined in the fun
