Possibly Nothing.

Is it possible to do nothing?  I took a much needed break from my desk and work. I didn’t know where I was going for sure but I did have a location in mind.

 

Once I exited my building,  I saw a friend on a cigarette break and decide to chat with him for a minute. You know I’m not cool with the second hand smoke and he politely blew it in the direction of the wind.

 

I went into the underground tunnel saw Dunkin Donuts and contemplate having just one because I saw it there. That tells you the power of the eyes!  I decided against it because I’m in marathon training. I need to keep drilling that in my head less I forget. 

 

I decided on Starbucks for tea.  But once I got inside and smelled the beans I opted for a vanilla soy late.  Once it was in my hands I remember that I did want to journal at lunch but since I came with nothing that was out the window.

 

I started to feel this panic like what am I about to do for an hour. Then, I decided to just sit here and do nothing. Then, I felt a little weird again…like.. as in can I just do nothing?  Who has time to just do nothing.  I began to think of all the things that I needed to do. Like write a list of to-do including reading the day’s paper.

 

I stopped myself and remembered that I did purposely decided to walk out the building without anything.  Humph but I had my blackberry.  Oh I love this mini computer so, now I’m writing this blog. After 20 minutes of being in here with some classics songs playing like Smokey Robinson’s  Tracks of my Tears.

 

I am so glad I got out of the office – my nothingness turned out to be very productive.
