What do you wish you could do more every day?
So what could I do more of every day? Hmmm.
Sleep.
Workout.
Write.
Pray.
Socialize.
Laugh.
Love.
Drink yum Java.
Smile.
Listen.
Learn.
Some of these sound so simple. But when you are a grown-up, relationships take over. Jobs take up so much time.
Daily tasks like: brushing teeth, taking meds, watering plants, feeding animals, getting ready for work, checking the mail, taking out the trash, scooping the litter, paying bills, cooking, cleaning, washing clothes- take over our days.
So, the few pleasures in life, the real joys, slip between the cracks. I am working on fitting those things in, in some small way, every day, or what is the point of it all?
What do you wish you had more time for? I would love to know!

Yes!!! Melatonin and Magensium Glycinate seem to help. Do you take anything for sleep?

Yes! Let’s get our workout on! I am doing 100 high knees a day holding a wt over my head and also do 40 squats a day. But want to add more. What workouts do you like or do?

Oh no. I just love walking in nature. I rarely stretch now. I love to walk in the morning and sunset. I don’t lift weights.
So great to hear you workout well. That’s amazing.

That sounds lovely. There is not much nature here now that I live close to NYC, so I have to move inside the house mostly:)

This post felt like opening the tabs in my own brain.
Sleep, laugh, write, pray—yes, yes, yes, and yes.
It’s like we all carry a playlist called “Things I Wish I Had Time For.”
Adult life is funny. We dream of deep peace, but get stuck refilling the dishwasher.
Our joy becomes like that unread book on the shelf—always waiting, never opened.
But your words are a good reminder.
Happiness isn’t some big vacation. It’s five minutes of good coffee, one real smile, or a deep breath that doesn’t feel rushed.
Even small joys are vitamins for the soul.
Thanks for writing this. It’s like a gentle alarm clock for the heart—snooze less, live more.

Thank you so much for your kind reply.
Your words felt like a gentle pat on the back from someone who understands.
I’m still learning to find rhythm in writing—sometimes it hums, sometimes it stumbles.
But when someone like you sees something good in it, it makes the quiet effort feel worthwhile.
Your post gave my thoughts a place to stretch.
And your response gave my heart a little lift.
Grateful to have found your words—and your kindness—in this noisy world.

You are welcome. And yes, this noisy world is what has been wrong with me lately. Gotta quiet it down or the smallest pleasures will not happen!
