Monday. The question is, what to do? oh, i am so blessed with this free time, all of this free time. so much free leisure time in between now and September 4th when I begin my graduate program that I am paralyzed by it. Oh, don't get me wrong, there are things to be done: furnace John and i's new house, do my homework, excersise, buy groceries, explore, write letters, clean out my car, make dinner... But where to begin?
So after driving John to his first day of training at his new teaching job (!) I decided to stick to my old faithful routine and see what inspiration came out of it. that routine being: yoga, sit, eat. This routine can take all morning if I have the time, and it seems that I do. So this morning the routine took around two and a half hours. Am I wasting my life away? Its a beautiful sunny day and there are things to be done. its nearly 11:00 and I haven't brushed my hair yet. things to be done, things to be done. soon I will be swamped with school and time will seem squeezed and fleeting. now, now is my opportunity to get it all done, to be really productive. I could practice my recorder, do a sewing project, build a garden, brush up on my spanish, can tomatoes and make pesto. I could, I should I keep telling myself, but I seem to not be that ambitious. Is that ok? Today I will get as far as making a call to my nephew who is turning 7. Happy birthday Quinn! cleaning up my dishes from breakfast, writing this entry, walking down town to do some reading for my upcoming classes and picking up John from work. Just a day. Nothing special. That will be have to be good enough. That will have to be my beautiful life. (maybe tomorrow I can be ambitious?)
