Doing Nothing

As I was waking up this morning I thought that maybe it would be nice to do nothing today. It became rapidly apparent that the first order of business would be defining "nothing". If it meant nothing at all,there was no way I could accomplish doing nothing without previous planning. Nothing at all in that sense would mean having someone get me out of bed,take me to the bathroom,shower me,cook for, then feed me,you can see where this is going. Doing nothing proved to be too labor intensive having not laid the proper groundwork. Once this was realized I got on with the day but the thought stayed with me as I performed my daily tasks. Would I really want to spend a day doing nothing? It sounds good until you look at it closely and start seeing that it might not be the least bit entertaining,and never mind unhealthy. Every scenario I came up with the nothing portion became smaller and smaller,until it totally lacking substance...which is the definition of nothing! So in conclusion: doing nothing was too labor intensive until I realized it was nothing? I guess we can file this one away as being ready for a mental health day!
