What is Ten Minutes?

Ten Minutes.

What can get done in ten minutes? I’ll tell you.

I can make and eat a bowl of chili in ten mintues.
I can play two or three songs on my guitar in ten minutes.
I can go from any place to anther in this town by car in ten minutes.
I can laugh for ten minutes.
I can play some stupid flash game on a random website for ten minutes.
I can nap for ten minutes.
I can fight with anyone over nothing for ten minutes.
I can dance for no reason for ten minutes.
I can talk on the phone with someone I don’t know for ten minutes.
I can take a shower in ten minutes.
I can write a blog in ten minutes.

What can’t be done in ten minutes?

I can’t read a book for only ten minutes.
I can’t walk across town in ten minutes.
I can’t listen to an entire album in ten minutes.
I can’t forgive in ten minutes.
I can’t make enchiladas in ten minutes.
I can’t write a good blog in ten minutes.

So what is Ten Minutes? It is an arbitrary unit of time I have chosen to describe the smaller things in life. I can do alot of important things and take only ten minutes for each. There are imortant things I cannot accomplish in ten minutes. My point is, don’t forget that the simple things in life are just as important as the complicated ones. They are not to be overlooked in the busy-bee atmospheres of school, work, and play.

Just something to keep in mind. And now you know what I mean by…

Ten minutes.
