Fabulous IS exhausting... and the things one can become known for can become more of a chore than a Joy anymore... which is the time to just Let it Go. Hard to embrace quickly tho', I tend to at least attempt to Hold On to some things past when I should have... guess that's part of the Process too. Dawn...

I am fighting the good fight against technology and try to limit my time spent surfing, texting, emailing, etc. but here I am on my mid-year search through my favourite sites and once again you have inspired and impressed me with your words and observations and I want to tell you (from someone who knows you not-a-lick) that you are awesome. Many blessings to you.

I am hoping by next spring, I will have my current (way too big for us now) house ready to put up for sell and buy something much much smaller.

Hiking.....O my goodness...this brought tears to my eyes....this is where I am at too! Life is going by so fast, I am running low on energy for 'Keeping Up" with the, it use to be the Jones, now it must be the Pinterests. Really it is only my own false perceptions of life! Anyways I still have 4 children at home and a grandchild on the way, my Mom and Sister/family just moved closer by...just want time to be with those I love and not have a long must do first list. GREAT POST! Enjoyed other readers' comments as well. Maybe I will set some new goals like having company over while the house is not tidy and I am in my bathrobe,ha!! I did just host a college graduation party with an unruly spring yard, untended flower beds and a couple of hens that flew the coop and no one cared!!

Yo...Jayme, welcome to the other side of the fence. You are learning that at fifty something and as I have, your mind and body are not cooperating buddies anymore. At this new season of our lives our priorities have changed and that is ok. I have been feeling like this for the last two years. I thought once I retired last June, I would be doing more, but it has been a slow go. Our home is a lot of work, it still brings me contentment, but I have learned to embrace the "If it all doesn't get done today, there's always tomorrow" attitude. Here's to a calmer pace and still savoring our blessed lives we have before us. This cold snap is setting things back and I must just go with the flow. So just like with my body, well, there are some things I have to accept. Nice post Jayme. Its ok, I still think you are fabulous no matter what! <br /><br />Debra Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220470666707560125.post-88393979534665972522014-05-14T22:04:09.731-05:002014-05-14T22:04:09.731-05:00Jayme,

I mourned the loss of the dream of a few acres, but I'm so thankful now that we can quickly mow, check out our four little square foot gardens, water our four hanging baskets, and then GO. Or REST. Or whatever. There truly is a season for everything, and this season now for me is to take care of the aged and infirm, not House Beautiful. And you're so right...who sees it? For whom do we do this?! Who am I trying to impress?! I even had family over without mopping and without cooking anything from scratch...gasp! Next I'll be having guest while still in my bathrobe. Giggle.<br />Stay strong as always, dear Jayme. You are a light on a hill!Heather Jobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07000173102134907502noreply@blogger.com
