Making Time

We all make time for things that "need to get done",  and sometimes we make time for those things we want to get done, either for ourselves, or our family.

But when does making time
become too much???




We're all given the same 24 hours ..... and yet I seem to find myself running out of time at the end of my day!  And when I have a day off, some of them feel as if they'll never end! (but that's more because I am avoiding chores! lol)

I've done the list-making thing many times, trying to make sure I know what needs doing, and in what order they need to be done.  But this creates a problem with my creative side.  When I start thinking of heading out to try to make photos, how do you schedule that in a time slot??  What ends up happening most often is that creative stuff is pushed to the side, making way for the things that are necessary on a day to day basis.   Work.  Walking the dog.  Sleep.  Work.  Walking the dog.  Sleep.

Yep, I'm definitely stuck in a rut!

I find as I'm getting older, I'm asking myself this very question:  "If not now, when?"

Because the fact is, the "when" feels like less and less available time.

We should be doing more than just the necessities every day. 
There should be time for creativity, or play, something we enjoy,
something that makes us smile. 
Find that passion within and make time for it!  For you!

I started this post because I was feeling "put upon" by a relative who was keeping me up past my "bedtime" with some chat.  But I put aside the feeling and just enjoyed the moment - getting to share thoughts and feelings with another member of my family.  And it made me smile.
