As some of you already know, this is one of my favorite quotes:
Imagination needs moodling — long, inefficient happy idling, dawdling and puttering.
—Brenda Ueland
I’m not a hammock person, but happy dawdling and puttering? Oh, yes!

Most of my days are of puttering. But plenty can be done as one putters about.
Coffee is on
Yes, amen to that!
I love it. I’m very good at dawdling and puttering
Yay!
it’s wonderful. it’s what makes life worth living I think.
I wouldn’t know how to be ‘driven’ like some people are in retirement.
maybe that’s important to them. but I much prefer puttering and dawdling too.
I think it’s wonderful too. It’s one of my great luxuries.
I’m good at those things but they make me feel guilty for doing them.
A lot of us have grown up being told it’s being lazy and is a bad thing to do. I chucked that idea long ago. 🙂
I’m one of the Queens of dawdling & puttering. Creativity isn’t a necessity, but sometimes it happens accidentally on purpose. Takes someone asking about something I’ve done to make me realize that it might be valuable…
Good for you!
