HOW DO I DECIDE

How do I decide which things to do and which things not to do when I don't have the energy I used to have...and it takes longer just to get up and get ready for the day than it did even 5 years ago.

How do I decide which things to do and which things not to do when my uninterrupted time has virtually disappeared since DK retired...and if I don't get some time alone I am either going to bonk him in the head or leave him...

...AT THE END OF THE DAY...I've decided...I'm leaving...I made reservations and in less than two weeks I'm running away from home...for awhile...

ME...WORRY?

As I get older, little things that change in my body send my mind on a rant about how I am going blind or deaf or I am going to live out my remaining years in ill health or die tomorrow from some exotic disorder...or...or...or...you get the picture.  A trip to the doctor usually lays all my worries to rest...

AT THE END OF THE DAY...I'm not going blind...my eyes are perfectly healthy...I just have dry eyes...I've always said getting old is not for wimps.

FLOWERS...SUNSHINE...SMILES

I don't like to garden...I let mother nature take care of that at my house. 

But I love flowers...big baskets of flowers...

  

 happy flowers

and best of all...AT THE END OF THE DAY...

hand picked with love from my favorite 2 year old...thank you Ady...

 

MOTHER'S DAY TIMES THREE

Unlike most little girls I didn't want to be a wife and mother when I grew up...I wanted to be a photo journalist and travel the world. 

Life had other plans for me.  I have never for one day had any regrets for how things turned out...

AT THE END OF THE DAY...this...

...was worth the entire journey.

ICKY THINGS

...i'm tackling icky things today...changing passwords...balancing the check book etc...all the things that are better done when it rains...

...AT THE END OF THE DAY...there is no reason to waste sunny day on ick...

BETWEEN RAIN SHOWERS

...stuck in the betweens again...want to start learning to make books...so many little 'at home' things to do first...can't make up my mind where to start...

so...AT THE END OF THE DAY...guess i'll just light a match under myself...that way i have to move one way or another...

SUNNY DAY BLUES

...there are down times even during beautiful weather...especially when I would rather be home than shopping and running errands...

but...AT THE END OF THE DAY...retail therapy can still help when it involves pretty new spring clothes...
