H is for Hurry

I'm in a hurry to get things done. I rush and rush until life's no fun. All I really gotta do is live and die, but I'm in a rush and don't know why.

That's a good country song. Do you all know it? And do you ever feel like you're in too much of a hurry to get things done? I try to keep an even pace in my life, but sometime I feel like I hurry in my writing. I want to hurry and get it done, the hurry to edit, then hurry to hand it out to readers. What's the rush?

Enjoy that book. Take your time. Make it the best you can. We have forever to live. Let's not get everything done and be left bored for the next thirty years! =) (you know what I mean, right?)

I need to tell myself to slow down. I don't want to rush through my life. I also have to slow down in order to get some quality and quantity writing done around here. Thanks for the encouragement!

Don't worry if you feel you've rushed through life, I'm in my seventies, still very involved in many things and it really is a wonderful time. Whatever has gone before doesn't cause problems anymore. :0)

Great advice!! Thank you! I think it's better to take one's time and get one thing right than to go helter skelter doing lots and not get anything done! I use to do that when I was younger! These days, it's one thing at a time, one day at a time! Take care

I always seem to be in a hurry. I am so glad that I am off track now so I can slow it down a bit. I think that I like my "H" topic better today, Harry Potter. It doesn't make me stress when I hear it like I stress when I hear the word Hurry! :)

The older I get the more I want to get done.

I haven't heard of that song, but I'll have to check it out. Speaking of checking things out, I came over to check out your blog from the A-Z challenge! It's a pleasure to meet you.

I frequently rush around. I'm working on better time-management skills, but life has other plans :-)

I found you on A to Z. Good luck with the challenge!
