time in a bottle

i'm throughly enjoying not staying up until the wee hours of the morning to finish a school project, take a forgotten quiz or post to a discussion area before it closes. i'm adoring the extra time i now have to devote to those started-but-never-finished home improvement projects. i have time to watch the t.v. shows i've missed (thank God for networks being smart and placing "full episode" features on their sites). i finally finished a book i borrowed from a friend almost a year ago. i have time to clean the way i want; organize my office; reconcile my checking/savings/vacation accounts; return to a regular exercise routine AND time to think... about... A LOT OF STUFF.

i've acquired so much free time i'm sometimes at a loss of what to do... ho hum.... i've never had so much time to just relax, think, breathe and pray... though this hiatus from the harried, sleep-deprived way of life is most welcome and needed, i don't know how to handle it. i don't even have a steady flow of freelance work anymore... wedding invitations here and there. but i'm not piled up like i was a few months ago. it's wonderful and scary at the same time. so, what's a girl to do? i could try planning, for upcoming events, but i really don't have anything major going on. my inner ultra planning diva is drowning! i'm not sure if i should try to save her or let her slip in to the depths of the ocean of peace.

so what am i to do with all this spare time on my hands? i could plan for events that may or may not take place in the not-so-distant future, but that only frustrates me at this point because nothing's concrete. i guess i could do what any normal, sane person would do in this situation--just enjoy the peace time. because soon life would pick back up and i'll be crying for these days of leisure. guess i better count my blessings and just relax.

be able to enjoy the quiet moments in life. be happy for the peace. be blessed.
