Time Worthy

I keep remembering the Seinfeld episode where Elaine learns that they are no longer going to make the contraceptive sponge, which was her favorite method of birth control. From that point on whenever she thought about having sex with a person, she had to decide if he was worthy of using one of her remaining sponges; thus coining the term "sponge-worthy."

I have become that way with my time. This weekend, I was looking at potential cars, as we are looking at purchasing a hybrid. Not that car shopping is fun, because it is actually a chore that I only do when needed; but as I sat waiting for the Sales Manager to come back with an offer, I kept thinking to myself, is the time being spent "pup-worthy?" After all, I was spending time away from the pups, it was something that I didn't enjoy doing and in the end they did not offer me a good price, so I ended up spending three hours doing something that didn't end up producing anything and it was three hours that I could have been playing with the pups and enjoying them.

I find myself wanting to take this idea and wrap it around my life; how important life is and how I need to be created more memories. I have been so focused on work and the daily grind of life that I often make it from Point A to Point B without remembering how I got there. My goal is to not only appreciate every moment that I have left with my dear pups, but to learn how to step back and enjoy the journey of my life.
