“The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.”~Bertrand Russell

I saw this quote on the side of a local business this week. It hit me, since over the weekend I was complaining that I wasted so much time and never got into my workshop. This is how I wasted my time:

Saturday:
Alex and I ran errands
We took the dog for a walk around the lake
We took the dog to get a treat at the local pet store
Got take-out dinner
Visited with Alex's dad

Sunday:
Yoga
Grocery shopped
Coffee with a good friend
Lunch with Alex's family for his brother's birthday
Put together a meal in the crockpot
Went to Seattle to pick up Tasha

So it is not like I sat on my butt watching lifetime movies all weekend (not that I haven't done that to), but some how I felt like I wasted the weekend. So this quote snapped me back, while yes I need to take time for myself and what I want to do...but I also need to spend with my loved ones and doing for them as well. =)
