Yep, today is my birthday! The old adage that “life is not a dress rehearsal” is so true and yet we all act to the contrary by putting off what is truly important or focusing on things that are not.I really have to exercise more. I was on a roll for a while and doing well but then I came down with a bad sinus infection and couldn’t get my head off the pillow! A week later, just starting to feel better.
As soon as I’m a 100% better, I plan on reshuffling my priorities and exercise first before going on the computer for hours at a time!
I found that the older I get, the more I stay home at night. I don’t have to worry about the alarm clock anymore so actually, I should go out more than being alone in front of the TV or the computer. I think I better stop focusing on my age and get out and about more. Heck, I live in Florida….I no longer have the excuse of the cold New England winters keeping me indoors!
I think somehow becoming a Widow puts you into a rut. I think it’s time for me to get out of my boring routine and start dancing!
Happy Birthday! You are second person I know with a birthday today. I am like you and am a widow and when winter comes I hibernate. I go to work and come home to stay inside. I still have the excuse that it is very cold and dark outside as I'm in northern Ohio. I hope you find a way to do that dancing !
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful, beautiful, joyful birthday!
