I Am In A Rut

What kind of rut am I in? Sometimes a lazy one or distracted one or even an overwhelmed one. None of them are good and all my own doing. Does that happened to either of you? What do you do about it? Lately I feel like I accomplish so little. I make lists and then lose them. I have good intentions, but then I can't remember them. Uh oh, you think. Lori is getting closer to the "home" to join others of like personalities. I just hope there is a good activity director to help keep my limbs mobile enough that I can walk to the activity room for bingo or story time. What concerns do you have these days? The above is just a couple of mine. Hitting the 70 decade has got me thinking of all sorts of weird things. Of course you girlies are soooo much younger. Especially you Susie. I am very thankful for feeling good most of the time and a somewhat healthy outlook - most of the time but I tend to be more reflective about the future sometimes. So....enough about such crap. I think we are all falling behind on our communication with one another whether it be the blog, emails or telephone. I definitely am part of the problem. Sorry. I say I will do better, but then weeks go by and nothing by silence from me. The two of you live in my head and heart, but until thoughts can be sent telepathically you won't know unless I pick up the phone and write some words. Some recent activity in my life is: - we went to St. Augustine last week for 3 days to the World Golf Hall of Fame and to Old St. Augustine. It was good to get away for a few days and see things we don't normally see. When we lived in Orange Park we used to go to St. Augustine once in awhile so it was fun to revisit and remember those times with Gordon and Troy. We stayed at the Marriott Renaissance with the help of Gordon's discount. Very lovely. Certainly not somewhere we could afford to stay every time we traveled. - bowling started again on Friday mornings and I suck at it. I keep saying I am going to quit, but my team members keep talking me into continuing. The end is in sight, though. I haven't been going to the national tournament for a few years now. - still playing Mah Jongg, visiting the nursing home and quilting. - I got up the courage to call June recently. It was the day after Jim's birthday. I feel bad that I haven't kept in touch with her more often. She is busy as ever working, making cakes and catering. Wouldn't that make Mom laugh. Remember when she lived with Jim and June and she would complain about her cooking? She said her granddaughter is 16 and just got her driver's license. How do these people grow up so fast. Probably the same way I have gotten so old! - I also spoke to our cousin Nancy last month. Her husband's Parkinson and cancer have progressed and now Hospice is coming. It is such a hard time for them. Oh, I could probably think up a bunch of other stuff to say, but I am going to make a list of things I "should" do. I will write the list on my arm so I don't lose it. Happy Columbus Day! I love you girls or women or whatever is politically correct. Lori
