A Net For Catching Days

“A schedule defends from chaos and whim. It is a net for catching days…. A schedule is a mock-up of reason and order–willed, faked, and so brought into being.”

Annie Dillard (American Author; January 28th, 1873 to August 3tf, 1954)

“How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.”

Annie Dillard (American Author; January 28th, 1873 to August 3rd, 1954)

“I live an intentional life and I look at everything I am up to as a joy and not a chore. Even the simplest task of grocery shopping is an ‘outing’ and and event for me and my husband. We get up at 5:30AM and get to the market by 6:00AM. Shoot for a perfect shop by finding all the ingredients on our shopping list for a menu we curated before shopping. We top a perfect shop off with gifting ourselves a donut at our local donut shop. Pure magic!”
