Down time

I find that people now-a-days don't give themselves enough down time. By down time, I mean just a couple hours to stare at a beautiful sunset, children playing merrily on a swingset or in my case, a blank wall, pondering all that is. I wish I had more down time. I tried to get it today as I waited for yet another resident in the emergency room. He sprained his ankle playing football. Unfortunately, my attempts at figuring things out in a high-stress environment didn't work very well. I could have predicted that. I just need time to sort out my priorities and to assess whether or not I am happy with where I am. I also need the time to figure out what I want to do in the near future and to put that in context with what I want to do in the long-term. Needless to say, it is quite overwhelming.

What do you think about in your down time?
