I had one of those days that everything I saw just made me think. Ever have one of those? As Sophia from the Golden Girls would say " Picture it, Panera Bread, Willow Lawn Richmond Virginia" There I was sitting at a table awaiting my Wifi to load, when I looked over at the surrounding tables and this is was I saw;
Table 1) A girl with head phones in and her nose to her textbook of some kind
Table 2) Grandma and Grandson flipping through flash cards of multiplication tables ( I remember those!!!!)
Table 3) A business man hoofing his chicken caesar salad down, while simultaneously replying to some sort of E-mail.
Table 4) A group of colleagues discussing a much needed reform on their 401K policy for work.
Now mind you it was Sunday around 5pm when all of this was taking place. Then my gears started to turn, because it seems like it was forever ago when Sunday was a day of rest. Whatever happened to FUN? It feels like everyone has had the life sucked out of them, we have turned into a world of robots. Doing this for work, that for school, this just to make ends meet. Come on, we need to loosen the rope strings a bit. That little boy should have been outside with his friends running through the fall leaves. The business man, could have slowed down a little just to enjoy the $12 dollar salad he had just purchased. I could throw around a million things all these people could be doing to chill out, relax and let me tell ya, it wasn't what they were doing!
Now don't get me wrong, I know we need to be responsible and get things accomplished, but yet, we need a balance. What is the point of working your whole life if you cant take the time to enjoy some of it. Right?!?!?
Maybe we should be reforming our work weeks!
Thanks for reading!
Until next time XOXOX Sammi
