Doggone it, this is hard! That's going to take a bunch more pondering, because it is something I've never even considered. The to-do list is soooo long that it is hard to look past the end of it. Then again, I'm reaching burn-out so it is good to try to see beyond the need to do stuff. Then I need to get past all the unwinding/relaxation stuff. I can see this is going to take a while to peel back the layers, but I'll keep going at it. Man, first assignment and I'm already pulling an 'F'!
In the recent past when I've been alone and not feeling like taking care of responsibilities, well I just vegetate and then later regret wasting time, but I also have never identified something I *wanted* to do rather than something that had to be done. Guess I am more enmeshed in being Dad and Husband than I even realized.
Corri, I think there is another thing that has to be taken out of the equation, and that is the cost of doing whatever. For example, I've thought that if I had the time and money, I'd like to try my hand at restoring an old car or building an airplane. Not sure if I'd keep up my interest all the way through or not, however right now it isn't anything more than a passing fantasy. I'd also like to fly myself around the country and visit small airports. What holds me up there more than anything is that once I get there (I've stopped at a number small airports), is that I get shy and have a hard time talking to the people I find there. I suppose one of the obstacles I need to put on my roadmap would be working on my conversational skills and getting over my shyness. But then, I'm getting ahead of the program a little there, aren't I?
