Sloppy Seconds
Or Something Like That. . .
I typically avoid hyperbole but there are times when opportunity presents it as a viable alternative.
Waiting and pausing, even a few seconds, can help
eliminate embarrassment along with other fates that
most fear or should likely fear.
Words, like deeds, behavior and thoughts are important among an always growing list of things that offer substance, significance and at times, seriousness.
“Haste makes waste” may be a snappy response to one of the often-hilarious(and somewhat scary) images shared by our AR friend from Texas Richard Weeks over the years. The visual stories he tells of another contractor project “gone wrong” with his shared photos in the Q&A section of this site are funny in the moment but often a clue tells us there's more to the story.
Time definitely has a role as the hours, minutes and seconds “tick off”. And don’t forget those moments.
Most of us know from experience that moments continue to matter.
Take this post for example. It was nothing more than an idea. I started - mostly a bunch of ideas - it remained unfinished in “draft” status. I thought it might become a post - maybe on January 2(you know, the second).
Well, some of the stuff that has been happening recently(or is it again???) on ActiveRain and in real life made me look at some ideas/thoughts I put forth in Google Docs and in other random places where thoughts and ponderings are stored.
Sometimes, leftovers like seconds that are sloppy can be quite satisfying.
Reheat. Rinse. Repeat. Or something like that.
