I recently  looked up the definition of carve out on the free dictionary dot com website. It stated that it means the following: to establish or create through painstaking effort. I admit I am often attempting to carve out time in my life for so many things that I feel like none of it gets done to the degree I hope or desire it will. So today, I conscientiously choose to carve out time to do one or more of the following on a daily basis:

take care of my health

talk with God

be intentionally present with my spouse and kids

write

exercise

sleep

think with pen in hand or keyboard at my fingertips

take snapshots of the day

enjoy the natural beauty in my surroundings

talk with family and dear friends

read captivating books

watch quality programs and/or movies

cook delicious morsels

listen to music

greet a neighbor

lend a hand

write more

find time for hobbies: scrapbooking, learning to play the piano, reading, writing, sipping beverages…
