When you get to the end of your life, old and tired, and you look back on all the things you did and time you spent, what will make you say: yes, I did well and it was all worth it?

Put another way, if you have an extra hour tomorrow with nothing planned, what could you do with yourself to later say: I’m glad I did that? What if you have an unplanned day? Or a week? Does how you use that time change? Would the choice of how to use that time be more or less deliberate, depending on how long you have? Does that choice define you as a person?

    If I had an unexpected extra free hour tomorrow I’d continue painting the mini I’m currently working on. It’s hard to say how many regrets I’ll have in my old age but I like to take the time to do the things I enjoy.

    I like making things. Painting makes me feel fulfilled because I always give it a fair shake, and there’s always effort put into it. Maybe some day someone else will enjoy the results, but for me, I enjoy the making process. If you’re curious, I’ve posted some here, should be able to see them on my profile.
