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.

Ideas for My Free Time

I have almost no free time.  Or at least I tell myself that.  I do keep busy with work, school, life, ministry, writing and taking care of Blaze & Indy.

Adding children to this seems to be lunacy - I'm not sure how I will find time to do the things I like to do if I am caring for children.  Surely, priorities will have to be made and adjusted.

So, while I am waiting for all these things to fall into place, I am looking for a few new activities.  I have decided to audition for a choral group.  Of course, this week, I have developed a stuffed nose and throat.  And, truth be told, I doubt I will get into the group as they have plenty of women and I am not that great of a singer.  Adequate, but not spectacular.

If this falls through, then I want to try another group.  Or maybe I'll look to the museum or library to consume a few more hours.

I could just spend more time doing my house projects - painting, scrapbooking, writing, etc.
