Wasting Time

Here I sit at a medical center waiting for an appointment. It seems to me that this kind of waiting can be excruciatingly slow and monotonous.   So what do you do with this time? Fidget? Check Facebook or messages?…. its not a set amount of time that can easily be scheduled for. I could have brought a book. Meh. I don’t have ” pick up work” with me. I should start a couple different ” pick up work” bags to carry with me…like embroidery, a small sketchbook, a bit of the quilt blocks I’m ever so slowly working on. Not having pre-planned something for an unexpected wait I decided to write a blog about the subject of time itself. We all have only a finite amount of time here in this life. A plan of action should really be made and implemented.  Let’s see… I’m this old. How long do I reasonably expect to have the physical and mental capacities to create? What is my legacy as far as my Art goes? What is imperative to work on first? What are my daily blocks of time available for Art? For daily chores? For writing, working on my website, studio time? What if I get the flu or a cold? Will I be able to meet my seasonal deadli es? How often can I video chat or otherwise communicate, spend time with both my family and my friends?  I enjoy so many things. I want to do so many things. And then there’s social media for my Art, my family and friends, just plain “down time. Oh my goodness. And research and reference material… cooking new recipies, baking, planning Christmas? What about “devotions/ meditation?  How about you? Do you live with a disability? Depression, anxiety, pain etc? Can you forsee a time when these could seriously impact your quality of life? How about your ability to create? I think I personally need to address these things in detail. Consider joining me on this? Let’s get moving people! 🙂 May you have a brighter Day.
