5 Things I Wish I Had More Time For

1. reading
I love to read, and I never seem to have enough time.  So many books, so little time...

2. horseback riding
This is the one thing I really, really miss from my childhood.  I love horses.  I love grooming them, feeding them, even smelling them!  Most of all, I miss the pure joy and total freedom of riding.  I've been a handful of times over the past 10 or 11 years, but my dream is to one day have a horse again...or two...or ten...

3. exercise
I work at a gym, so I should have plenty of time to work out, right?  Ha - think again.  I really want to get back to running and doing PraiseMoves, I just have to carve out time for it.

4. spending time at home
I'm never home.  We're always on the go, always running...if I'm not at work, I'm at school; if I'm not at school, I'm at the church...I love spending a whole day at home, working and relaxing, and I don't have that time anymore.  I miss that.

5. quiet time
You know, really peaceful time to just relax, like when I'm running or horseback riding, or at the park on...that doesn't happen often.  I need to just get away from everything sometimes and just clear my head.
