Being vs Doing

Why is t so difficult for some to understand the difference between doing and being? Do we always have to be doing? Why can’t we just be? Why can’t two people just exist in the same space and find peace and comfort in just being?

I have often wondered this, maybe I am just an odd ball. I can find comfort, joy, and peace just being in the same space as one or many people. I have so many people like this in my life. I don’t have to be DOING anything. I can just BE.

I have often looked at people and told them how much I enjoyed the time I spent with them and I am met with this question: “Why? We didn’t do anything.” That is exactly my point.

Just be, don’t do. I don’t have to be entertained. I don’t have to be wined and dined. I don’t have to go do anything.

Maybe I am just old for my age. I am just as happy sitting at home being as I am out doing anything. To be honest I probably would prefer to be at home just cooking, cleaning, playing games, playing on the internet, hanging out, or even watching a movie.

Don’t get me wrong, I do get the itch every now and then where I have to go out. I have to be social surrounded by a bunch of people I don’t know, dancing my ass off. That is rare though, maybe once or twice a month.

It tires me to go out constantly. I look at this month in December and it tires me just thinking about it. I am so excited about this month and all the parties and such going on but I am looking forward to a quiet January.

This weekend is mine, Debbie, and Joey’s birthday party. It is going to be so much fun. I love that crew so much. I always have so much fun. I can let my hair down and act a fool and I have people who do it with me. I probably act my craziest and carefree around this crew.

The next weekend I have no plans as of yet but I do know something will come up, always does in December.

On the 23rd my dearest, oldest, truest, bestest friend is coming in town for 7 days. There will be many late nights up talking with him and just being.

On the third weekend(the 20th) it is Lil Bits (Megan) birthday celebration. We are going out and shaking our asses and being girls. I am so excited!

Then comes Christmas with the family which is always stressful, yay.

The last weekend (26th and 27th) is my birthday weekend. The 26th Framing Hanley will be at Fire. I know there is a group of us going to that! Then the 27th we are going to EC to shake our asses and be fools. All are welcome! Come celebrate my birthday with me!!!!! On Sunday (28th) I will be 28 and I will probably sleep all day.

Then comes New Years, and I think we will probably be back at EC with friends and dance the night a way. I gotta find my New Years Kiss. I didn’t have one last year!

So, yeah, this month is gonna be busy. I will be doing a lot of DO, but I will be making time to just BE with those people I care about, or at least trying too.

Being is more important to me than doing. I will take being over doing any day, anytime, anywhere,
