THE JOY OF LAZINESS
I’ve been reading a book titled “The Joy of Laziness”, and I’m in seventh heaven!!! It’s telling me to do all the things I love doing except one – EATING! Besides that I also need to slow down my pace in life so that I can save more “life energy” – but it’s a blast. Anyone who is living the high, roller coaster life and needs to laze more should definitely pick it up and for those who like me love to laze, here is proof that we are on the right track. Sleep as much as you can, laze in bed. Ohhhhh man, Im in love with the guy who wrote it.
No more cold showers!!! (hate those), no more excessive exercising (there are other ways to stay fit without becoming the next Arnold Shortknicker), no more waking up exhausted after a late night. It also states that the average man can live upto 150 years of age, so why not give it a shot. Live healthy and at a much slower pace, not just physically but mentally too. I think we of this generation do everything to extremes, like accumulate stress, party too hard, work even harder, depression hits most of us every six month, nothing is ever enough. My great-grandfather lived over a 100 years and MashaAllah he was perfectly alright. He must have been doing something right.
Although, one thing that the book advises on and I couldn’t really give my 100 % to YET, was to start eating moderately, I’m trying and it aint so bad since I miss out one meal anyways and no more snacking between meals! I keep the snacking and bingeing for Sundays. I just finished a leisurely lunch at work, chewing this way and that and finding it hilarious since I was giving my taste buds a serious workout. Oh the pleasures of life, I think the said taste buds have been tantalized and satiated till dinner. Well, I’m a woman who appreciates the fine things in life, fine food, fine chocolate, fine men…ooopps PAUSE – Rewind – Delete… - (the fine men are on my ignore list these days, since I keep falling for scumbags and hence this year I’ve decided to change my type from tall, dark and handsome. My sister suggested short, stout, balding, ugly – it took some mental assimilation to swallow the image. I think the image got stuck in my throat, I had to cough. God, I have nothing against the kind my impish sister suggested, just that never gave them any thought, makes me seem very petty. Hell, I can’t help it if my hormones do a jig every time I chance to see the tall, dark, handsome version!! SIGH!!!! – Maybe the men should stay on the ignore list and I can save some very idiotically wasted life energy from depleting even further.) I think I’d live life like a turtle( who is a bit more active then the tortoise - lol) rather then a busy bee whose life span is about a few weeks only. On these two happy notes, I declare it SIESTA time.
Happy Napping! :D
PS – I know I digressed, it’s a bad habit…I roll from one topic to another without warning. Bear with me.
