I agree. And these days we’re inundated with everything all the time, so it’s particularly easy to worry that we’re missing out on something important.
I’ve thought about this quite a bit in the last ten or fifteen years — eliminating the things that I don’t care about or don’t like, no matter how essential they might seem to others.
So, for example, I don’t watch television, and I don’t do holiday presents. Not my thing. I write mysteries, but the mysteries I read are all old. I have very little idea what’s going on in music these days, but I pay a lot of attention to movies.
This is so me. Especially when it comes to all my hobbies. I have so many things I want to work on that I don’t take the time to master or finish any of them. My goal this year is to get really organized with my time, and — like Anthony said — cut out the things that don’t matter.
And your handwriting is always so cute. You really should have your own font.

Works for me. :-)

Great thought and very true. Thanks for this golden nugget. :)
Anthony-
I’m still working on taking my own advice. ;P
