Meetings on Thursday

 

Thursday is meeting day for me.  I usually have 2 meetings this week thankfully I only had one!  Why is it that you sit through a meeting and come out feeling exhausted?  It’s not like I am doing anything physical.  With my sore back sitting was so not fun! 

Usually I get take out food on Thursday.  By the time my day is done I don’t feel like going home and cooking.

Growing Old Scares Me.

At almost 52, I am realizing that growing old 

is a scary thing.  Most of the people I love the most 

are aging fast and watching their difficulties is heart breaking.

I hope I grow old gracefully. I try to exercise daily,

fuel my body with healthy food.

But that doesn’t mean life will be easy.

Life’s journey teaches us lessons. My most recent lesson 

has been to be grateful for moments when I am not 

in pain.  I hurt my back, and the last few weeks 

have been trying.

My sweet Mother in law is now in a nursing home.

She has a hard time remembering people. 

I miss her, she was like a second mother to me.

I feel so sad that she has been suffering from memory loss.

I hope when I get to be her age,

That if I forget everyone they will 

Understand it was not my choice, 

and that I loved them all my life.

Most of all I love my dear sweet Husband.

Do you look at the aging process with a little bit of fear?

Fall walk

Today was a beautiful day for a stroll in the gardens.

There were still lots of plants blooming despite the fact 

That it is almost November.

I love these flowers.

We got to crunch through the leaves 🍁.

They had the garden decorated for Halloween.

Someone did a huge amount of work.

Which background for my note do you like best?

Hope you are enjoying fall.

New week new goals.

 

I have started my week off well, got up and walked for a mile. Then actually got things accomplished at work.

This is inventory week, so I have to get all the balloons we sell counted. It’s also the last week of the quarter so I need to make my new spreadsheets for the accounting. I look forward to tomorrow as I get to go walking at my favorite garden.

Hope you have a wonderful week.

Taking much needed “me” time.

 

This morning I was able to get my house nice and neat, and care for my garden.  I gave up on having multiple gardens around the house, I just have the one garden in the front yard now.  Taking time off the last few weeks has helped me be more productive at work and at home.  I had been feeling so burnt out from trying to juggle my work schedule and my home life.  I am going to continue to try to take “mental health” days each month.  

Only a few flowers still blooming in my garden. 

I’m really starting to enjoy fall. This year has flown by!

Hope you are well.

The decluttering continues

 

Today I have spent most of my morning decluttering my basement.  I hope by spring of next year I will have organized my house so that I can spend time doing the things I enjoy. Such as photography and birdwatching.

I’m trying to post more, but my posts will be short. 

Hope you are all enjoying life. Any decluttering tips are welcome. 😊
