Tydy Procrastination

I love to watch Marie on Netflix on how to tidy up.  I keep cleaning by putting things in the back room.  Well, it is getting difficult to walk back there.  Before starting any project I would stop to make a cup of tea.  I remember my Mom pointing that out to me.  Procrastinating.  Finally, my son reminded me to set the timer and just do it for five minutes.   You know the rest, after a few hours, and no cups of tea, the job got done.

Passion

My son describes a helpful business book about having passion in whatever you do.  I seem to lack this passion.  I used to have it.  The kind that made you jump up each morning to start the day.  Now I struggle looking for that.  Sara said "you are retired, you did that already".  While this is true I still think life has more to offer than just being a caretaker.  So, I moved the piano.  It was stuck behind some living room chairs, making it difficult to sit down and play.  Should the mood strike me.  Now it is in a bigger space in the bedroom.  No excuses not to play.  Maybe I will take lessons again..

Get busy living or get busy dying

Don't ask why the Shawshank redemption quote , get busy living or get busy dying kept popping in my head but it did.  Dave feels better without the fluid in his body but the hospital said it was congestive heart failure with 25% heart function. It seemed that it was time for hospice to start.  Then Dave's regular doctor came and gave him a good report.  She also said her father had a similar ailment with 20% function and he lived another 22 years.  Wow.  This has changed my entire outlook for Dave.  Guess we will get busy living.
