Your sunflower photo and the subject matter today brought to mind the "Time Began in a Garden" embroidery piece I just finished (a long-time UFO till a couple of days ago). And your advice is just the ticket for a recently-retired Type A such as myself! I have so many things I <I>want</I> to do, and have been procrastinating, as if I should find something <I>better</I> to do, or as if I am not <I>worth</I> taking the time to do them! I mean, it's just me and the cat now, so shouldn't I just Get On With It?! Thanks for the encouragement!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4702190220105395554.post-47359372841925744392008-09-29T22:20:00.000+01:002008-09-29T22:20:00.000+01:00I can identify so well with so much of what you ar...I can identify so well with so much of what you are saying here Sandra. I too have had CFS for many years and have had to learn to prioritise and postpone where necessary. I don't make lists so much as I used to but I do review throughout the day to consider what cannot wait and what can be left to another day. I especially identify with the depression aspect which is bothering me at the moment but which is usually not so troublesome. My creativity is vital to my health and I always allow space for it at the expense of other stuff even if I only spend time thinking about it and not actually physically achieving anything on a particular day. <BR/>Your final story rings very true. It's a lesson I have learned myself.<BR/>I think your list is probably a better way than the mental juggling I do, sometimes all day long.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14223691871102821084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4702190220105395554.post-6760367901375345852008-09-28T03:43:00.000+01:002008-09-28T03:43:00.000+01:00Hi Sandra,Found your blog while searching for the ...Hi Sandra,<BR/>Found your blog while searching for the Fashion, Embroidery & Stitch show (to purchase a ticket for the forthcoming show). I have found your post about time very interesting. Though must admit to being totally opposite to you or rather they way you were. I've always been rather lazy but more so now that there are no kids living at home and I'm retired. I'm quite happy with the way I am though occasionally I do wish I could push myslef a bit more to get things done - I'm talking about housework mainly I suppose, though I do do what's necessary. I'm a great procrastinator and always have been. It's not that I don't do anything now I'm retired apart from linedanicing, tap dancing Tai Chi and learning Spanish I do a lot of crafts. I make cards and do other papercrafts - taking part in challenges on various forums/blogs. I also make cloth dolls and do other bits of sewing.<BR/><BR/>Regards<BR/>Anne :)Liverpool Lou (Anne)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00031623590883933453noreply@blogger.com
