measurement

by kevinwilson ^Pro @ 2008-08-28 – 13:00:50

how do you measure the worth of a day?

number of cups of coffee consumed?
quality of the cakes eaten?
moments of peace and quiet?
somebody said something nice?

perhaps if we work at this, we could come up with a scientific formula for the perfect day ...

anyway, it's nearly lunchtime.

For how much of the day were you truly happy. That sounds like a good measure to me.

Tom.

    A leaf, a stone, the plastic fragment of a child's toy. Stars, water, clouds. Words, music.

Are you having a bit of a ponder about life Kev?
My mind gets me wondering about things like this too.

Oh yes! Your blogpost reminds me of something that I recently came across..

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."

Hmm...I shall post it later. Thx, Kev!

i measure it by how keen I am to have the next day - and then round up on average whether I'm springing out of bed joyously or dragging my sorry arse out wondering why I'm bothering. If the correlation is poor it's probably time to change my days, and avoid the things that make me want to stay in bed

  i know what you mean ... happiness is a very elusive thing ... it can grab you at strange times and abandon you just when you expect it the most!

i measure it by the number of times i feel like punching someone in the face!
obviously, the fewer times, the better my day was!
