(continued)
Where does the free time go? This question persists in spite of growing list of timesaving devices that come into our lives. We don't have leisure time: time to relax, to talk peacefully with family or friends. In fact, all kinds of "organizers" (an efficient system of recording appointments) are sold in large numbers. We are busy, busy, busy.
The answer to the free time question seem to be that people find new activities for their leisure time. They do things they always wanted to do but didn't have the time. That's how they get busy all over again. Colleges have more and more older adults as students. Going to class and doing homework keep them quite busy. People of all ages also do a lot of traveling. They travel across the United States and also visit foreign countries. In this way they get an education in the real world.
Some people learn how to play golf and other sports. These games give people a new interest in life and make it easy to meet new people. Other people like to use leisure time to do things with their hands - like gardening and painting pictures. These activities are very relaxing. Many Americans are very busy keeping their bodies in good condition. Every morning joggers run through the streets; in the evenings they go to gyms to do exercises; and sometimes they go to lectures to learn about eating properly.
It's easy to see that people always do something new and enjoyable with their free time. It's always hard to find more free time for that relaxing bath or unhurried walk without a destination.
