Well, I am in limbo a little at the moment as I am not sure how much work I am going to get this year!
I have some work organised already but need a few more hours to construct a life that is based around the three days of work and four days to do the things that are important to me lifestyle pattern that I favour.
I am fortunate in that I can generally gain enough work in an industry that pays well enough for me to construct this sort of a lifestyle.I have put a bit of effort into this mind you.
It has taken nearly thirty six years to get to this point!
It is mainly a matter of prioritising what is important to you.
For me it is organising my week around:
- Enjoying my relationship with Michelle - doing much of what follows!
- The opportunity to go surfing - wherever there is a wave!
- Working on my health and fitness if the surf is not up - at the gym!
- The acquisition of new skills and knowledge - studying for a degree in Internet Computing!
- Creating the space and time to make music - either playing classical guitar or with the band Floodgates!
- Periods of doing nothing much at all - contemplation/crosswords/television/stumbling/reading
- Enjoying the company of my poodles Hamish and Hermyne- walkies at the beach a particular favourite!
- keeping contact with other important members of my family including my Mum, Amy and sons Tim, Oscar and Angus.
- I choose not to live in a big city - I have never regretted moving to the south coast nearly twenty years ago!
- I rent - but I have million dollar views luckily!
- I have no investments - but then I don't have credit card with credit available either which sorta balances out!
- I don't have a flash car - but I do have the car I need!
- I very rarely go on holidays - but we are hoping to change that!
- I cannot just go and buy what I want anytime - I have to save for it!
I try every day to remember how lucky I am!
