A little thing happened in my head today that was somehow meaningful to me
I was eating toast and eggs for breakfast, in a bit of a rush to start work

As I took my last bite of toast, I noticed an impulse to shovel the remaining egg in my mouth and get going.
Normally I would have done this without thinking, but today I noticed it. I thought, "hm, maybe let's hang tight for a bit and just enjoy the toast."

So I just... enjoyed the toast
It was almost like I got a free extra bite or two?? It cost me like 5 seconds, max.

Obviously this alone is nice, but not life-changing.
But then it occurred to me that my default mode is to be in a rush. I *never* feel like I have enough time for anything. So I miss all these little moments.
...which perhaps is why I feel the need to rush all the time? π€―

The possible circularity of this feeling of "never having enough time" blew my mind.
Anyway, New Year's resolutions are cheesy and quickly forgotten, but mine for this year is to have enough time to enjoy my toast.
Wishing you all a peaceful 2023 π
