I think it's very important for one's health to keep a good balance between work and play.
The last couple of weeks for me have been extremely busy, but, funnily enough, it's been pleasurable, leisure activity that has taken all my time. I don't remember reading anything about keeping a healthy Leisure - Leisure balance.
Some activities require planning, some require rehearsals and all require organising one's life around. So to enable a relaxing time I've had to work hard in advance to make sure everything ran smoothly. I'm happy: it did! I had to ensure meals were ready in the freezer; all shopping was done - to make the meals; laundry was done - so I could pack easily; hotels were booked; contributions to the party were arranged/bought/cooked; and my friend knew the itinerary for the visit. I had a uniform to prepare for the Choral performance and tickets were bought for my supporters. I had to arrange collection of my son and so many other things.
Now after my musical concert and visit away I am almost back to normal. I have lots of work to complete and don't have any plans - other than to relax - this weekend.
I can sit back and reflect on the exciting week I had last week and be at peace with my memories of a well organised, well executed leisure time.
