“Why are you in such a hurry?” My aunt asked as I slammed my foot on the brake, “We are on vacation.”
I muttered angrily beneath my breath as I drummed my fingers on the steering wheel while a group of Canadian geese crossed the road.
I know this is a vacation. I know I’m supposed to take it easy, after all, I doubt I would be able to take another month-long vacation ever again when I start my new job in 2 weeks. But time is time, and to see as much as we can, we mustn’t waste time.

Obsessively caring not to waste time is actually wasting time.

You should enjoy the moment, not to think about enjoying it. 🙂

True true… reminds me of the ones who spent their vacation glued to their phones taking picture after picture instead of actually being in the moment

I cannot comment on geese, since we eat them for Christmas and I suppose it would be rude to talk about it now. 🙂

Sounds like someone needs a chill pill…but it does take a couple of days into a holiday to slow down when one is used to rushing about. Nicely done.

I wonder if people who lived before the industrial age worried like we do about hurrying to wherever they wanted to go. They probably did. They just had a different idea of speed 🙂

Of course, they measure their travels in days, unlike us in minutes and hours. 😄
