I've often day dreamed about what I would do if I didn't have many obligations. It's fun to imagine, so fun in fact that I'd like to venture to write about it now. If I could structure my days myself and do only the things that I deem the most beneficial, the most interesting, the most important, or just the most fun, my day would look something like this:
8:00- Rise and Shine! Tai Chi then Yoga in the garden
8:30- Breakfast, Tea, Tidy the kitchen
9:00- Get Ready
10:00- Study Scripture
10:30- Write!
12:00- Lunch with Ely and Aria
1:00- Play with Aria
- soft blocks
- musical instruments
- dance
- sing
- tickle
- splash!
- nature walk
- draw
- color
- read
4:00- Sing
5:00- Lift heavy objects
5:45- Swim
6:15- Brain Exercises
7:00- Dinner with Family and Friends
8:00- See a show
10:00- Massage
10:30- Lights out
What a wonderful day, eh? Maybe I'll try to live it out one of these days. Of course, if I could create a make believe week it might include other pleasures like a picnic, painting al fresco, a poetry reading, canoeing, spa day, walking, speaking Spanish, or day tripping to visit museums. Life just doesn't give me much time for all of these wonderful wanderings and musings. I work 9-6 if not more. Life calls for cleaning and shopping and phone calls and paying bills. Maybe the trick is to incorporate as many of one's delights into a week that one possibly can. If not the whole day, maybe I might try to get the rising and shining part in, along with the yoga and maybe write for 15 minutes each morning, if not the full hour and a half the dream schedule articulates.
