MAKING TIME......................................................

"There is a time in your life for everything~~but not everything all of the time."
Anonymous 


It seems as though when I take a little trip...I always spend some time reflecting about my life and the improvements I hope to make when returning home.


All of us have the same 24 hours in each day and yet it seems as though I often fill mine with trivia and just "puttering" around the house.  I set little goals for myself and let other things get in the way.  


This year I have turned 68 and have vowed to pursue some of the goals I have long neglected.   These goals are really fairly simple, actually....but it is just a matter of MAKING TIME.  I want to begin a solid exercise program, as I am having some knee issues and know this will improve my overall health.  I want to get more involved in being creative.  It seems as though I have just let that part of me disappear.  I want to spend more time with friends getting out of the house for lunch or just visiting.  My diet could use a little overhaul...so I plan on attempting to make this happen.  

My little list really is not very long...but I need to MAKE TIME BEFORE I RUN OUT OF TIME!!


Just sayin'
from me to you..

    It's great to hear from you. I've already begun working on some of your goals. Great minds think alike. For the first time in my life I have begun attending an exercise class and am thoroughly enjoying it. Hoping you and yours are both well.

    I think of that often. My word for the year is "Now." Do it Now. There's so little time left if we wait.

    That's the thing of it all, isn't it? Making the time to do the things that are really important to us rather than WASTING time and/or killing time. Thanks for the reminder to do what's important. xo Diana

    Yes, sometimes we just have to priorize certain things and be firm about letting them have priority over all the other things clamoring for our attention. Wishing you much success!

    Oh! I need to make time too! I am always fighting fatigue, but I have to learn to carve out some time to accomplish some little goals at least! It seems all I do is laundry and nap! I am going to try and set some goals and stick to them!
    Hugs,
    Deb

    Hello Jo,
    I know the feeling. I too sometimes wonder where the day has gone..
    I am always working on what to do next. Then i relax and start again.
    Wish you luck with your diet.. its changing what we eat, that helps.
    Making the best of our time is key to our well being.
    happy week Jo.

    Dear Jo, I know exactly what you are saying! Most days I feel like I didn't get half done that I planned or needed to. At 53 I am having issues with my knees and one hip, as well as just going through surgery. It seems like there is never enough time to complete the things I want to do. I spend much more time doing things I HAVE to do! I wish you the best of luck, those are great goals you have set, and completely do-able..if you make the time! :) Take care, xoxox Christel

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY......I'M GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!

I turn 67 today.....and actually I feel better as the years accumulate.  Since I've gotten older I actually have decided that I will celebrate each day during the month of October...just being grateful for being healthy and alive.   I hope each one of you who follow this little blog of mine celebrate each day along with me.... Here are some of the things I have planned for my birthday month: 1.  Listing our current home the end of the first week in November.  We are pretty excited to be moving into a little smaller spot as it means less work and maintenance.  We just want to be able to live more and work less.  Although we still have not found our new spot.....we know it is out there.   2.  Taking a 15 day cruise on the Rhine from Amsterdam to Budapest.  We will visit 5 countries along the way.  One of the stops will be in the place I was born....Nuremberg, Germany.  My  family  left Germany right...

PUTTING ON MY GYPSY SHOES......................

Bo Bunny Paper Collection Well.......the coach is packed...the laundry done in the condo....and we will be on our way tomorrow. I often do feel like a gypsy moving from one spot to another....and each year my gratitude grows as I am able to continue this lifestyle. I truly would love to "do up" my coach in Gypsy Style...but alas....not too practical as things probably would be flying all over as we traveled down the road.  (O: But.....a girl can dream.....can't she? ~~~ My suitcase is packed with memories To be opened further down the road When my caravan must be halted The bag waits to be opened Stories to be told and shared Like the gypsy's of so long ago But for now....the wheels keep turning And my case grows larger still Waiting for the day..I must be stopped   And my heart, to the brim, will be filled Hugs from me to you, Jo Gypsy photos:  Electric Gipsyland on Flickr

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS

This is a picture of our little tree this year.  Each year our trees seem to be smaller, a function of our getting older and just wanting to deal with less stuff.  I'm sure a few of you feel them same.  Although it does seem to be a little weird that we want to deal with fewer Christmas decorations and give each other MORE STUFF in the way of presents under the tree.   Ahhh...being human is such a quandary sometimes!                                          MERRY CHRISTMAS                                                          Jo
