If you had an extra 60 minutes a day......

With less than one month until Christmas comes the time where we are pulled into various directions.  Of course we have the normal committments - work, kids, our partners and friends but then throw in Christmas.  For some it is a wonderful magical time but for others it just adds onto the already large "to do" list.

I read an interesting magazine article that had a survey.  It was what would you do if you had an extra hour a day.   You could do WHATEVER you wanted.  Not what you think you should do but you would want to do.  The answers were so interesting.   So what would you do?

I think as a full time working mother, wife and then having a Photography business as well, I do not have enough time in the day for them, for my friends, for anyone.   I'm not alone in the boat where you feel that you are stretched from one edge to the other and the simpliest thing, that one added task, makes you feel like your walls will fall?

An extra hour....well I do have a best friend that I don't get to spend nearly enough time with.  It doesn't help that she lives an hour away.  Would be nice to "bank"those hours and spend a bit more time with her.   An hour to be with my teenager without the teenage angst would be heavenly.   An hour with my husband without the remote, without me being so busy that I have no time for him, would hopefully help bring back that spark of years ago.  An hour to spend with my friend and our cameras....never enough time with that but always so fun. Maybe an hour to spend actually hearing instead of just listening.  An hour to learn something new about a co-worker or a neighbour.    An hour.....doesn't seem much but then again seems like so much. 

Maybe my goal this weekend I am going to try and hour in amongst the million and ten things I need to do, the shoots I need to do, the edits I have, the deadlines, the grocery shopping and the ever ending helps of laundry.  I may blast my stereo and dance like a mad woman.  I may just sit and cry for the ones I have lost.  I may go to the my favourite store or I may just sleep.....that extra hour would be nice.
