I Read this verse and wanted to post it somewhere, perhaps it will strike someone's chord!

"Whoever watches the wind will not plant; whoever looks at the cloud will not reap. As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother's womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the maker of all things. Sow your seed in the morning, and at evening let not your hands be idle, for you do not know which will succeed,
whether this or that..." Ecclesiastes 11:4-6

Often I want to 'check out' at the end of the night after a long day of errands, mothering, cleaning, and life...but I think that it's not good to waste away in front of a tv and really important to pursue life to the fullest every minute of every day. For when else will we explore our passions, spend time with loved ones, and cultivate friendships if not when our work is done?
