A Day in the Life of a Free Spirit

 


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
3:00-  Meditate/Nap
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.
