Today is Veteran's Day and I decided this morning that I would use the afternoon for my "walkabout." This part of my schedule is the time I have been trying (for all of the last two cycles of 40 days) fit into the week where I can stop, reflect, do things that are necessary for growth, take care of items that have to be taken care of, and generally attempt to more fully manage my life.
The time is intended as a moment to reflect; to take in a movie, or an art exhibit, or (as today) a parade. My hope for this time is that at some point during the middle of the week (Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday) I can give myself growth time to add into my quiver for knowledge and growth and creativity.
Work and writing still takes place in the morning, but then it's my intention to give the afternoon over to the muse.
Previously, the tyranny of the urgent has always invaded this time and usurped it for other purposes. I think today may be a breakthrough.
