What Would We Do Without Distractions?
But distractions aren’t always a bad thing.
No, some distractions are more good than anything and are likely more important than whatever you had at first planned to do. There are times when you just have to set aside what you think you have to do, in order to do what is really good for you. Even playing fetch with your dog on a nice afternoon is a distraction that can be good for the soul.
That’s a good question.
I can’t say distractions are good if they make you forget what day of the week it is but an unusual work schedule and spending extra time with your spouse is a decent excuse, I think. I’d never fault anyone else if those were their reasons for being distracted. Even if I had finally recalled it was Wednesday when my husband asked if I wanted to watch a movie, you may be happy to hear I would still have chosen to spend time with him rather than my computer. It’s just one of those times when I will set aside what I feel I have to do (for me, it is to write) in order to do what is good for me (spending time with my husband).
I’m sure you know what I’m talking about when it comes to distractions. It’s just part of our busy lifestyle, good or bad, but they are part of our life just the same. We might not be able to choose how often or how we are distracted but the days can take a positive turn if we take advantage of the good distractions because in the end, those are the moments that can really count.
