Michigan Day 4
I'm really fighting the impulse to quit my classes, quit my job, and retire. But I'm only 61 and should wait. But I'm tired and have been doing too much for too long. When the work on mom's house is done, that will help.
Today is the one year anniversary of my mom's death. It's hard to believe; the year went fast. It's probably not helping my mood though.
Had my meeting with the life coach. She keeps asking what I will do for me, and for me that's gardening. So I need to get with the guys about the garden first thing. I also need to bring down the pots for the front yard. I want to plant Japanese spireas in them.
Hmm. The nature retreat/conference center (Allerton) in the next town over is having an event in which if you hike all their trails in a year, you get a t-shirt. I'm mulling over signing up for it (done--I need more incentive to get out of the house). It sounds nice. Campus Recreation is offering ice skating lessons, which I'd like to do but not this year. Yoga and Tai Chi and swimming lessons are enough.
After work, I bought a couple of dahlias to grow in pots. I thought about putting them in my tall planters, but dahlias are tall, so maybe not. I'll order large pots for them (done).
I bought the following book: You Don't Have to Change to Change Everything: Six Ways to Shift Your Vantage Point, Stop Striving for Happy, and Find True Well-Being. I hope that it helps.
I got my program working!!!! I am so stinking happy!!! Done and dusted. Now I just need to run errands and tackle my mom's house.
