One Answer to Free Time

I auditioned on Sunday for a choral group.  I anticipated I would not get in, and had some mixed feelings about it. On one hand, it will consume some of my precious free time.  On the other, it will provide new friendships, develop my voice and be fun.

Last night, the director called - and I actually got in!  I was so excited, I think he didn't know what to say.  So, now I will have to give up my Thursday nights to rehearse for the two concerts we have.

This will now force me to be more intentional with my time.  Hopefully, it will add joy, not stress to my life.

Congratulations. Oh, and someday I should teach you the art of saying "NO". Judging by this post and the previous one describing everything you want to do, you sound a lot like some other people I know who do so much they never get time to just relax. Someday you should just play hookie from work and watch Dr. Oz, a soap or two, and end the day with Ellen. That's like a day of paradise for me.

I sometimes struggle with that. I do have a few things that get set on the back burner. Housework comes to mind.

I find I become a couch potato if I don't have things to get me out of the house!
