Tyranny of the urgent

This is a phrase I picked up years ago. Told myself at that time to not fall into this trap. However this holiday that began two weeks ago has been day after day of being caught up in something that needed to be seen to immediately. Holiday seems more busy than working days. What incongruency! Today, I MADE time for what I wanted to do- personal timeout. It has been along day but what a sense of achievement one feels when all that 'urgent' matters get accomplished alongside patchwork sewing, tea with friends AND most important listing an item on ebay.com.my to test market response. If you are interested in giving a unique-one of a kind table runner-made by a very careful crafts-person (not yours truly) as a Christmas gift / birthday gift etc. do pop into ebay and search under "patchwork table runner" and acquire it. It is very well-made. See for yourself.
