I am sure my old habits continue! Interestingly though, this summer I have not at all been conscious of looking at the clock! Rather, I am finding so much of interest around me that my life is not so much driven as captivated by stuff that excites and enlivens me. And, it's a good example when books are recommended like your Smithson. Do I really want to have yet another book on the big pile? Well, yes I do (at the moment)!<br />But I shall keep your warning in mind. I think captivation can/should wane. Yes, ageing requires thoughtfulness.MIchael Quickenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255061167072169918.post-44194827859574824022012-08-04T05:41:19.206-07:002012-08-04T05:41:19.206-07:00Michael,tried to comment on your last blog.You kee...Michael,tried to comment on your last blog.You keep referring to "time" as though you have to squeeze every minute. Agree in one sense,should not waste our time, BUT, you are nearing retirement (?) and need to wind down,and not keep looking at the clock. Spoken after bitter experience. Start the wind down now. By the way did you ever read "My Way of Preaching" ed. Smithson for your books. I have a copy I will send. Rather Scottish prejudice in choice of writers and bit Brethren orientated but a good book overall. Brian Astell (UK)Brian Astellnoreply@blogger.com
