Day 6, Monday: If you couldn't answer with your job, how would you answer the question, 'what do you do'?
Lake Tekapo, NZ - 2011
I think about this often and wonder what it is exactly that I am good at. What do I do apart from work. For some time I gave myself a hard time as I thought I was lazy. I questioned myself with ‘what do you fill your evenings and weekends with?’. There is no big task that I fill my time with. It is a mixture of small things that make it up.
So, apart from my 40-hour-a-week-job, I:
- Walk my dog
- Exercise. Go to the gym
- Study via correspondence
- Sew & knit
- Read. Discover new authors and read new genres
- I read blogs
- I volunteer with people who have Down Syndrome
- General house duties that everyone does
- Visit family and friends
- Discover new neighbourhoods around Sydney. Try new cafes and immerse myself in the area I live in
- Spend time with S and Teddy
It doesn’t sound like a lot. But it is. I can’t do everything on the list all of the time because I just don’t have the time. I am busy and that is the way I like it.
a belated happy birthday Rhiannon! i'm so jealous that you're in sydney! love your list about what you do when you're not working. that's the best job ever, isn't it?!!
