Like you I like to be occupied with ...Hi Genevieve,<br />Like you I like to be occupied with something to do rather than have all day doing nothing. And, like you, I used to feel that 'down time' was what I wanted. Now, I'm finding I enjoy going to hydro, (I used to think exercising was a chore most of the time), and when I make the effort to be active my mood improves and I feel happy with myself that I've accomplished something. The something could be as mundane as housework or it could be something fun like going to the movies or coffee with the girls. <br />I also like studying and learning new things. <br /><br />I like your idea of doing little bits of everything. For me, if I sit too long my knees get very stiff and painful when I go to stand up again. So, it's really better to spend some time doing sitting tasks and intersperse them with some standing and walking tasks. I call it 'bitza' - bits of this and bits of that. <br /><br />I'm in full agreement that there is a place for downtime and relaxation. It's just that since I'm no longer working, I find I have too much time on my hands and I no longer savour all that unoccupied time in the main. So, I'm on a mission to see what I can do with myself that is constructive and I'd like to do some voluntary work maybe. <br /><br />I think your idea could prove quite interesting. <br /><br />Cheers,<br />JanelleStripey Froghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03913096873630632160noreply@blogger.com
