Peaceful

 It’s early morning and I’m up alone having coffee and reading the newspapers, checking emails, doing crossword puzzles. It’s so still and cozy in the house. We moved in here to this house about a year ago. If money was unlimited there are a few things I’d change but overall I’m happy with how cozy it is and the amount of windows and light. It’s very comfortable and practical for our needs. 

Today is supposed to be chillier than yesterday. We’re rolling back to winter for a couple days then several pre-spring days after that. I have been buying flower seeds now and then all winter. I’m ready for spring to arrive. Tomorrow is March 1 so we’re making progress. I need to make out my to do lists for today, tomorrow, next week, next month, this spring, this summer, this year. I need to mentally see what’s coming up ahead. I need goals to move toward. Being retired can sometimes feel like a deep abyss. I do better with some structure. Yesterday I managed to at least accomplish a few things so the whole day wasn’t a waste of time.
