This is a task-filled week coming up. Lots on my plate, but
all do-able.
Today, I finished my changes to the March newsletter for our
senior mobile home park. Tomorrow I print about 400 issues over a couple of
hours. Thursday, I staple all of those, and roll half of them with rubber bands
for the routes I personally deliver. Also Thursday, I must make one payment,
get a few groceries, and do a few other things. Friday, the morning is for the
charity crafter session and the afternoon for the Vet. Saturday morning, and
Sunday morning, I walk and deliver about 70 of the newsletters, each day, to
the front porch railings. After that, both mornings, I get to have fun playing
with a few big doggies when I go to help out by feeding them.
I was thinking today about these things. I think I am
blessed having tasks to do. Of course, there is always, always, the ongoing
de-cluttering in here. And the water-rationing routine. But I think having
regular tasks to do is very important as we get into our 70s and 80s (almost
there).
That old saying, “use it or lose it,” could easily apply to aging
brain cells, I think.
There is also one factor that nobody has any control over:
the gene factor. But that aside, it is very helpful to me to have deadlines
here and there.
I have had to seriously look at some things I’ve committed
to, and face the fact that I just cannot get to them these days. I must
un-volunteer from those things. It hurts to admit that I can only do so much,
if I want to do it well. But I am thrilled to be able to do what I can do.
And, I do hope I can make some progress this coming month of
March, in gathering stuff together for the Spring park-wide-yard-sale in here,
the second weekend of April.
Yep, it’s good to have something to do. I must remember that
whenever I feel overwhelmed.
