Down time

What we do with our spare time says so much about who we are, what's important to us, what we're hungering for...

So. If you were given 5 or 6 hours with no responsibilities, no expectations, no deadlines hanging over your head, no one looking over your shoulder, what would you do with your time?

Blessed with unexpected free time yesterday, I cleaned out a drawer, tidied up my office, painted this picture, and treated myself to some escape reading. Nothing noble: no meditation, no long walks in the countryside, no important projects -- just down time. It was lovely... and a wonderful reminder of the Sundays of our childhood, when our time was our own and we could spend it as we wished...
