Not wasted
This is one of my favorite quotes. When I first read it, my reaction went from thinking it was kind of funny, true, and then surprised that John Lennon said it. The photo is of a wheat field that I took towards the end of May last year. Life is about living and enjoying the time you have so if you feel guilty for “wasting time” when you’re having a blast go ahead and stop worrying. As John Lennon said, it’s not wasted time at all. Have a wonderful weekend and go “waste” some time!

This quote really makes you think. To me, anyway. I really like it though. Half of the time I worry that I AM wasting my time with something even though I may be having fun. I always worry about if there is something more productive I SHOULD be doing instead of enjoying myself. Like…homework, reading, cleaning, anything of that sort. Since I am making some changes in my life, I will definitely have to remember this quote!!! I need to quit worrying about almost everything and start enjoying life 🙂

Hi Lauren
I like this quote to, John Lennon came up with some great quotes, like “life is what’s happening while you’re busy making other plans”!
You have a lovely blog space, I’m going to read about the petition below next – anything that helps the forest and trees.
Love Kat

Love this quote! And I’m going to go ahead and use it anytime I feel like doing nothing. I will always blame you (OR John Lennon?) if anyone says anything critical to me about my laziness, haha 🙂

Rachel – That is perfectly okay! As long as you’re having a good time, blame me (or, ya know.. John Lennon would probably be more fitting to put the blame on here, ha!) all you want. : )

This I’m writing on my whiteboard. It’s easy for me to forget that sometimes my down time is just as important as my busy times.
Your blog is so going in my Reader. That way I can be a really good commenter and friend.
