Spiritual Practice of the Week:  Busy?

http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/06/30/the-busy-trap/

I read this post this week, I heard the author on CBC radio, i resonated.
I asked myself these questions:

1.  How often do I say that I am 'busy'?
2.  How have I chosen to fill my life and my days?  What kind of balance do I have when it comes to work and to leisure.
3.  If someone looked at my life would they see that building relationships is the top of the list on how I want to use my time?
4.  When I say 'i'm so busy' how does it serve me, what affirmation do I get when I cast those words out into the world?
5.  What's the call for me in all of this to live my life differently?

I invite you to read this article, and ask yourself these same questions.
Thanks Tim Kreider for the words you wrote.
