Whew!

Today I saw a blogger whose post was about making the most of your time and this quote.  

                           "You can do anything, but not everything." David Allen

I should have this tattooed on my arm where I can see it all the time!  Yesterday was one of those days.  I woke up early and started searching the internet for a camper for our big adventure.  Hard to make something appear on Craig's List just by wanting it to but I'm trying.  But that is another blog.  

Anyway, after searching I rushed out to the PO to pick up the certified mail that turned out to be the truck title.  Then to spin class where the instructor worked us hard. "challenges"  probably another post too.  After an hour of hard work, change clothes and off to Mt Evans to volunteer in the office.  A few hours there and home to do 3 loads of laundry, bake bread, make granola, and dinner.  Then finally, I can sit down.

Why do I need to fit so much into a day?  And can't some one do something with the part of me that thinks  homemade is the only acceptable bread, granola, dinner.  

But then I think of my Mom.  Now she has nothing but time in a nursing home and as she got older she fondly remembered the days when she was crazy busy.  The time when caring and providing for family kept her working long hours.  And how she now misses that purpose, the quickly filled days providing her family with love.

So, when I sit at the end of the day I should take a deep breath, relax and feel grateful for the people in my life that I provide for, for the energy and physical ability that enable me to spin fo an hour.  I will try to remember and enjoy this life.  

As I age I should also remember to keep up the activity level so that I have to energy to keep on doing all the things that I do.
