In your plants and garden, movies and music, books and current goings on, you can forget about things that you would really like to be doing, too. For instance, I have left off working on my hooking for months,since before Christmas...ah... hooking rugs, that is. It's been one of my favorite hobbies for years,and yet, things just pile up,and here it is, June,and it's still sitting on the shelf..the top-most of the media tower here in the dining room,and yet, I have not given it any thought, in all that time. It was brought to mind again, when someone mentioned some handiwork they had finished,and while commenting, I thought, DUH! Why haven't you finished your rug? well, the answer is, I haven't made time for it, that's why. For most of my peers, now is the time when they have slowed things down and have gone off traveling, or just sitting around, doing nothing, taking life easy. Yet, here I am, and there aren't enough hours in the day for all the things I want to do. Don't misunderstand me now, I am not upset about it. In point of fact, I am just as happy as a little toad! I have to smile about it, because I haven't changed, with all my limitations. I am still just as busy as I was twenty years ago, when a woman who used to come and visit me, because our boys went to the same school, came in and said, what are you doing now? And before I could ask what she meant by that she said, you're always doing something! By the way she said it, I knew she meant it as almost an insult, but I took it as a compliment. Why not stay active and busy and interested in life? I've always heard that those who lose interest in life, don't have it very long. However, that doesn't mean it's a good thing to have so much going on, that you can't accomplish the tasks you set out to finish.
So, now I shall endeavor to rearrange my schedule, and fit in time to work on my rug. I haven't looked at it in a while, but I am pretty sure it has a teddy bear in the middle. It's going to be so cute when I get it done! With any luck at all, it will be in time to give to my daughter-in-law for her birthday in July!
OUI?
