Semantics?

A few weeks ago I tried to convinced Jon that the reason we're so tired when we go to bed is that we live a full life. (I also suggested to him that some day, when we're older and having trouble falling asleep or sleeping in, we'll look back on this season of our lives and envy our abilities to fall asleep the minute our heads hit the pillows). I have to admit that I'm not sure he was convinced.

In a phone call with my dear friend Heidi, she commented to me that the difference between being "busy" and "living a full life" has got to be more than just semantics.

Right on.

And so, I work towards articulating that difference in words but also deeds.
