Priorities

There is something marvellous about a deadline.

It makes me focus like nothing else. All of a sudden things that I could do, but don't have to, fall to the wayside and only the necessary is contained in the schedule.

And its interesting to look back on how priorities change over time. Last week it was very important that I rest my sprained ankle and I could think of nothing other than outside activities, and this week in full health I have seen the time-crunch and the admin details build up, build up - pleading to be filled out, filed and developed.

And to my shame it is often friend-oriented events which fall away as well. I have noticed recently that I do take for granted their golden gift of time.
That is changing as now Art and Friendship reign again as main priorities





...and 'having money' is religated to the back of the line.

I'm sure I am not the only one.
