As I am sitting in my cube - looking out my window at the lovely central TX skyline, my mind tends to wander. Right now - since it is a Monday and I feel waterlogged from a friends weekend wedding in a less pretty part of TX (which was delightful) I can not help but reflect and wonder how it is that I got here. Mid twenties, 9-5, working towards a retirement I may never use - and if I can use - it surely will not be enough for the cost of living in the what 30+ years into the future. #depressing
I digress.
With spotify constantly playing in my left headphone, favorite bookmarked blogs, and a quick scroll through instagram - these represent my ever faithful companions during the work day.
It is not that I do not work hard - I do. (I get my work done efficiently and effectively). I can not seem to figure out if these other "companions" are a necessary part of my millenial lifetsyle or if I am not being fully utilized at my 9-5.
This quote had been resounding within me for a couple weeks now as I try to distract myself inbetween projects.
"The world longs for sanctuary and instead we give it entertainment." - Rhonda Lowry
I wonder if what I am contributing and more importantly of late - consuming - is a help or a hindrance to these needs?
Tonight - yoga and chili making. The things I have come to look forward to.
