Since the vac has burnt out, I won't be doing that again for a while.<br />Choir this evening, despite vast amounts of music for Lent and Easter to be learnt, was very rewarding simply because I had had an idle day.<br />Blessings to you too.Ray Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09209429097744326143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7948117492116997244.post-31798972261985745042013-02-01T19:01:44.001+00:002013-02-01T19:01:44.001+00:00A wonderful philosophy - I've just had a whole...A wonderful philosophy - I've just had a whole day of doing nothing much, so that I can now go out to Dance Class! Enjoy what each day brings, even if that is a wrapped up in a blanket snooze.

I do admire you for being able to relax without the hassle of wandering what needs doing.

It takes a while (half a life-time) to accept that what doesn't get done will still be there to do another day.<br />Prioritising is quite a difficult learning curve, but it is so worth it.Ray Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09209429097744326143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7948117492116997244.post-10544121363558650912013-01-31T18:56:15.150+00:002013-01-31T18:56:15.150+00:00Ray, you are a woman after my own heart!

I'm always much more idle in winter and bad weather and like you have shed all guilt about it. I gather this unstructured life is known as going with the flow and it suits me down to the ground. :-)Perpetuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214396019726161983noreply@blogger.com
