The Pastabilities of a Day

I left the water boiling for a minute too long - my pasta dinner turning from chewy into mushy.

I was stuck paying the price for my inattentiveness. I could throw out the dish if not for the groans from my belly and my budget.

But the hours in your day are not like my cooked pasta. If you mess up the first hour of your day by mindlessly scrolling, you are not beholden to eating it as the main course for today nor as leftovers for the rest of the week.

Therein lies the possibility of a day. Once you serve yourself a soggy dish of pointless distractions, then you are free to toss it right out and try again.

This time with intention and attention.
