So I have been thinking lately about how I use my time. I think work and sleep take up the bulk of my time (especially sleep–I can never seem to get quite enough thanks to little baby). But in between is really the fun time. I wanted to do things when I had more time without school. And I’ve been lucky enought to actually start filling my time with fun things. I’ve made jam twice, I am learning how to sew better, I’ve gone hiking on several cool new trails (but can’t go as far as I used to thanks again to baby), invited neighbors over for dinner and games, learned more about cooking in a crock pot, made rhubarb pie, played my accordion, read several books, do yoga everyday (I can touch my toes on a good day!), gone fishing (but not caught a fish. bummer), worked on furnishing the new apartment (not that we know where we are moving), and spent some relaxing moments thinking.

Time is interesting, because it we always want more, but never quite use what we have the best. It’s so easy to get caught up in distraction and entertainment and never really do the things we want to do. I don’t think I will ever accomplish everything I want to do, and learn about everything I want to learn about. But I can do some of it a little every day.
