I have to change a whole mindset. I like that I could call it allowing my brain to be creative! Joan, I still fall asleep, this time without the excuse of a hard day! I call it 'getting old(er)'. :-)<br />I'll get there!!<br />J x<br />Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116524003944939298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648310406783744033.post-24236115176164538522015-09-26T11:02:18.629+01:002015-09-26T11:02:18.629+01:00However you choose to occupy your time, it is your...However you choose to occupy your time, it is yours to decide. If you cannot indulge yourself after years at the grindstone, then something has gone wrong. Relaxation has been missing from your life apart from the compulsory falling asleep after a hard day. Knit, sew, read to your heart's content without any qualms, it's up to you.

Maybe waste is the wrong word here but I'm sure you know what I mean!
