This post is really late. But its because today is the first time in quite a while that I’ve felt like I’m back into a routine. Between my big painting project, moving and many other wonderful client projects that have been demanding of my time, the last month or so has been go go go.

But today, I woke up a little later than usual. I made myself a warm breakfast and took my time getting ready. I did things like exercise, work and read. I talked to my mom on the phone, texted a bit with friends and got some forward movement on a fun side project. This might sound busy, but to me it was heaven.

I’m finally having personal time again! Now that I know how incredibly important and valuable it is, I will try to use it wisely, in the company of family and friends, in the pursuit of learning/creating/expanding, and in the hope that next time I find myself busy, I won’t so easily discard my time.
