Dear Portia,
I'm forgetting a lot of things lately. Small,trivial things that only matter me. I forget what lunch was or where I tucked my money, what article I last worked on or whether I have any appointments for the day. Small things, really. But the thing is, this is a symptom, that I'm not paying any attention to life at all. I pass through it for survival, just like all the hundred billion out there.
A sad thought, is it not? That's why I've decided to stop something that's supposedly intrinsic to momhood: I've decided to stop multitasking. After all, one can't live here and there at one time. Life deserves more attention than that. Because really, when you think about it, whoever said multitasking was possible? Can one mind actually focus on two things at the same time? Who knows, probably somebody can.
But on my end, I think I'll stick to enjoying the present the best way I can.
Soon,
Mom
