I have not posted lately, been incredibly busy! My trip to the mainland was amazing and I knew I had a lot to say about it, but as soon as I returned, the re-entry into life has been a whirlwind! The house needed attention, as well as the dogs. As soon as I took care of them, there was our "wine group" meeting! Then the "wine group" dinner the following day :) and the next day we had unexpected guests. All of these are "Good Things", as Martha would say. Staying busy, meeting new people, making new friends and seeing the world around us, are what make life interesting! I enjoy all these activities, yet finding a balance is key!
I would love to sleep in for a day or two, but not possible! The dogs are up with sunrise and I would miss our beach walk! The sea air and breeze create enough dust to choke anyone with allergies and I have a long list of these and seem to acquire more everyday! So, housework is a daily activity. Guests usually enjoy conversation, food and drink, and suggested activities; this takes time too! Sleeping in would mean I would miss my beloved "wine group" meeting later today! No, no, no! There is a limit to being too exhausted! This group re-energizes me and makes me feel wanted and informed! (I believe this is the whole purpose of group therapy?!) Of course, I would really enjoy relaxing over errands! Just the thought of hot, dusty roads and a list a mile long of "to-do's" leaves me tired. But, that too needs to be done; we like to eat and the dogs look forward to that all day! I could never disappoint them! Those adorable furry faces continue to make me smile through any thoughts of giving in to a nap or hiding from the world!
My company is now awake, I have had 3 cups of coffee, the electrician is here and this day is well on it's way! Cheers and enjoy this gift of life and look around you; you may be surprised at what you are missing!
