the other day I overheard a snippet of conversation as I walked past 2 men, one said to the other something about "a life of active leisure" - how I liked that phrase - I immediately decided that I am seeking a life of active leisure; what will I do when I reach it? walk farther each day? - yes; hike? - maybe; ride my bike? - yes; swim? - yes, back to aquafit classes!; go canoeing? - maybe; go kayaking? - yes; these last two require trips out of town...or further afield as in Walking the Camino de Santiago de Composela - maybe part of it, i.e. between a couple of 4-star hotels; living in Provence for a month or two? very high likelihood; rock climbing? no; skydiving? no; roller blading? no; so you see there are degrees of "active" in the term active leisure - yours may be more "active" than mine, but in any case, it is a worthwhile pursuit, n'est ce pas?
