  1. I just loved those words, Hannah! We too often feel guilty or think we should be doing something else.

  2. Absolutely! And what is wasted time anyway? Time is time. We all have the same amount. :-)

  3. Kay, this was in my Old Farmer's Almanac engagement calendar, and I thought it was just wonderful. We all worry about how we spend our time, and I thought this was a great antidote to that worry.

  4. So true, so true. Though perhaps I've been taking this too much to heart lately. ;)

  6. I love this quote Nan! I expect mmost of us of a certain age had at least one Puritanical parent or grandparent who made us feel guilty when we were "not accomplishing smething." And we have to keep telling ourselves what T S Eliot says so succinctly.

  8. Thank you for that marvelous quotation from TS Eliot! It's quite consoling to me today--I've been up for well over three hours and yet have accomplished nothing! I think that calls for a nap.
