Spending time with family and that all important “me time”
Yes, we all need “me time,” it’s important. These days you’ll find me doing less commenting on other blogs (although I still read the same blogs) and more time doing things for myself. I still make an effort to comment on those who’ve stop by and comment on my blogs. I just don’t try to do it all in the same day.
A few months ago, when I took a break from blogging I knew one thing that needed to change was the amount of commenting I was doing on other blogs. That was becoming a job I read 100’s of blogs websites throughout the day. Partially do to freelance writing but yes I know a lot of bloggers also, trying to commenting as I used to is definitely no an option.
Did I make the right decision? I think I did, the time I was using to comment gives me time to do other things for example I’m actually gaming again for anyone that has read my website for a while you’ll know that I love gaming, I don’t always have the time to play. About three months ago I created a gaming website where I write under a pseudonym. It’s another way I relax and it keeps writing and playing games. Besides, exercise, spending time with my daughter, reading, personal writing, and the many other things I do to relax. I would add gaming to that pile and the important thing it’s a “me time” activity.
Spending time with the family wasn’t really an issue unless I had a major shipment to send with my business, article to write, or paper or test to study for. For the most part I was able to work around my daughter, Aiyana’s, schedule. However, I was selling myself short when it came to spending time on myself.
What’s on the menu today? I’m taking my daughter to Chuck E. Cheese. Gone are the days when I actively play the games with her. Yes, I’ve been demoted she just wants me to sit on the sidelines and “watch”. Sighs, she’s only five years old! I’m planning on bringing Stephen Kings, Cell: A Novel
What about the me time? Later today I’ll be working out at Bally’s. Yes, exercise is part of my daily routine. I’ll try to post todays workout sometime this weekend. Much later today I’m going to play Diablo II. Yes, I know the game is old but I happen to like it, also Blizzard is making Diablo III although I highly doubt we’ll see it before 2010. Well, that’s my me time for the day.
Question: What’s on your weekend menu? Me time, spending time with family/friends, or both? Are you making time for yourself? It’s important you know.
