Jamie Ridler and her wishcasting community sometimes read my mind with their weekly prompting:
Today: How do you wish to spend your time?
I have often said, “I am friends with time, I stretch it… rarely run out of it and love the games I play to enjoy leveraging her….”
Then there are times like right now, when my time is like play-doh: flattened and pulled and shaped into long strings, a sort of blobby silly string impression….
I actually don’t mind this, occasionally. It makes me feel incredibly alive: this consciously having a full schedule. I think that is the key: I want to spend my time consciously.
After a nine month break from theater I am doing two productions at the same time. One show runs at 7:30 in the evening and the other runs at 11:00 pm. This also means rehearsals run from 6:30 pm to usually somewhere in the neighborhood of 12:30 pm.
I am so fired up and energized by rehearsing that I frequently have difficulty falling off to sleep. I would rather continue singing and creating and laughing than getting rest. I’m aware of this so I schedule naps. I am conscious of how time interacts with my mood.
I wish to be conscious with how I spend my time.
When my rehearsal schedule (or travel or publishing schedule) is heavy, I am exceptionally conscious of every moment with my children. There are debates about quality vs. quantity time: I know it isn’t perfect and I know my children are happier when I am happier. Sometimes that means I leave the house to rehearse and perform in front of an audience.
I have been conscious with how I spend my time and my wish is to continue and improve my level of consciousness in how I invest my time.
It is such a precious resource.
Beloved Wishcasting Friends: As you wish for yourself, so I wish for you also – and I am looking forward to consciously visit each blog this week…. Thank you for wishing alongside me….
