Me and the Museum

Realizing the reality of really having to plan and schedule in time for yourself...

Yesterday I had about an hour and a half before my next meeting and I was sitting in front of my computer thinking about what I should do. I had a to-do list in front of me - Nothing was urgent but I could work on various projects or start some reading assignments for the week.

But no I decided none of the things on my list were really important enough for my precious time. Instead, I chose to take a walk down the street and spend my hour in the art museum. It was a wonderful gift to myself - a quiet place to think, question the direction of my life and ask myself what is it exactly about art that makes me feel so dedicated to it.

In school I'm working so hard to learn what it takes to manage an arts organization, the skills and analysis tools that will push my path forward... but there's not a lot of time spent with the art itself. It has become an assumption that art is worth dedicating your life to. This is something that I still believe in - but it's great to sit back and check my priorities and passions and make sure I'm on the track I want to be on...

This moment of me time and introspection was brought to me by me for me!
