Free Time

Alex asked me an interesting question this morning at Gymnastics.

"Casey, what do you do with your free time?"

I know he was asking sarcastically but it got me thinking...

What is free time?

The first thought that comes to mind is that it's all free time.

Time is the one thing that is the same for everybody. We all get 24 hours in a day. We don't all live to the same age but day in and day out it's the same.

I write, I meditate, I eat, I sleep, I hang out with friends, I spend time with family, I work, I camp, I bike, I do gymnastics, I watch movies, I read, I meet new people and so forth. That's what I do with my time. Whether or not it's free is up for debate.

But if it's not "free", what is the cost? And how do we value it?
