What to do with it? Some of the things I have tried to devote that hour to have been:
- Spend an hour learning, French, German, Italian...even of late Indonesian
- Translating the week's OT lesson from the Hebrew
- Translating somthing similar out of Greek
- Praying
- Meditating
- Walking
- Exercising
- Writing poetry
- dealing with correspondence
- keeping my finances in order
- reading
- writing a novel
- learning how to use MSAccess datbase
- designing a webpage
- learning Visual Basic
- gardening
- playing the piano
- drawing
- ....and so on
And so it goes on....of course the key would be to add an extra day to the week or maybe just recognise that I need to do nothing for an hour each day. But that's a bit terrifying!!

Verily Stephen your problem is all too familiar to me, except that to my sorrow I don't remember ever having the understanding that I myself had one unallocated hour each day. A Past Parish Priest, upon being invited to advise me, once responded with t
counsel that I "look at [my] priorities". The suggestion seemed entirely appropriate and I did not hesitate to try to act upon it. It was not long however before I reported back to the PPP with the honest observation: "O. Getting my priorities right
s not so much the 'answer' as the 'problem' ". And to this day the problem just won't go away. Anyhow, it's quite a comfort to be reminded that I am not on my own in this respect!. I thank you opening up another window on life. Yours Truly, Anon.
