I love deep water aerobics and \u00a0I love writing my blog, I have really gotten into watercolors and love painting, I love reading my books for book club and there are\u00a0days I just don&#8217;t know what to do first.\u00a0 What really cuts into my time and I love this too, \u00a0is doing things with my friends, which always includes lunch or early dinner.\u00a0 Each day when I get up and before I start I already am saying I wish I had more hours in the day.\u00a0 I think you will agree with me that it is much more fun wishing for more hours now than it was many years ago.\u00a0 Well I&#8217;m running out of time, have\u00a0to use it wisely as there are not enough hours in the day to do all the things I love doing.\u00a0 Wishing you more hours in your day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>so little time.\u00a0 Over the years I think we have all\u00a0said&#8230;I wish there were more hours in the day.\u00a0 It probably started while we were still in the cradle.\u00a0 How many of us willing put our heads down and went to sleep, even at a tender age we wanted more hours to our day.\u00a0 As [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-789","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bestvillageblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/789","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bestvillageblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bestvillageblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bestvillageblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bestvillageblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=789"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/bestvillageblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/789\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":801,"href":"https:\/\/bestvillageblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/789\/revisions\/801"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bestvillageblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=789"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bestvillageblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=789"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bestvillageblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=789"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
