Of time and other silly thoughts

Today, as I was going from one chore to the other, I realised that I was going to run out of time, I wasn't going to complete my list of things! This happens to me every time that I have a day off work.
Everyday I think of things I would like to do but for some reason I can't, so I make a mental note to do them when I'm off from work. When the day comes I have a good amount of "must dos" and "would like to dos", and time runs out quite quickly leaving me with that bitter feeling of wasting a day.
I know that I am not alone, people always complain about not having enough time.
What is time ,anyway?  Wikipedia says that there are two different views about time. Some philosophers say that time is a fundamental structure of the Universe, a dimension independent of events on which events occur in sequence; The other opposing point of view says that Time is neither an event nor a thing, and thus is not itself measurable nor can it be travelled.
If they ask me I can tell them some well known facts about time,
-time flies; time stops; time heals; time runs out; there are people ahead of time and people having the time of their lives; there is the right time and the wrong time; Time is what we make of it.
Time goes by quietly, no matter what we do, so today, unlike all the other days, I am going to be happy about the things that I got done and I'm not going to waste any time thinking about what wasn't done.
 
 
Before I go, just a quick warning, if you spend the day tidying up your garden your arms and wrists are going to get scratched, don't go and bake a lemon cake!
 
Have a nice week

Tangled

I decided to change my blog's name. Tangled. That's me. I was walking on the string of life and I was caught in a knot! It's not a bad thing, but I will need some time to untangle myself and move on.
My mind moves too fast, it doesn't give me enough time to think each thing through! So I go from one idea  to another, from one project to the next and it feels that I am going around in circles when I could be moving forward.
While I try to untangle myself I am doing some crochet. I found out that I don't like to follow patterns, I prefer to create my own. I also realised that my mind likes to come up with  silly things! Normally when you think of crochet or knitting you think of blankets and jumpers, I think of owls, chicks and deer heads.
 


 I made some cushions, as well, (silly ones that I love very much)
 
 
But the one that I am really proud of is my deer head, it's my own design and it was a big challenge, after all, I only started to learn crochet a month ago.
 
I need to come up with some sort of frame, and yes it's silly but looking at it makes me happy, it brought me many moments of frustration but in the end I got it right. This head is my trophy, is a reminder of what I can accomplish.
 
Have a Happy day!
