I guess that I am really happier when I am working.  My life may not be as hectic as it was when we were raising this family, and it may not be as busy as your life is now.  But usually I am able to find plenty of work to do and I am able to squeeze in some down time too.  I try to enjoy everything that I do and I usually succeed.  I even resent some interruptions that take me out of my routine sometimes.  But if I try to enjoy everything that I do I have to be able to enjoy the interruptions too, don't I? One's perspective is different when you have lived as many days as I have lived.  Not much surprises me anymore.  But I do try to stay young in perspective so as not to be bored by life.  I do okay at that, but sometimes I just plain get worn out and just last until I can get to the end of the day and go to sleep and recharge for the new day which comes around every morning when the sun rises again.  (Lately its been hard to see the sun rise in the morning, but this rain has got to stop sometime!)

I find that I get a little mad at myself when I invest more then time into a ball game and when my team loses it bothers me.  Not too much, but enough.  I wonder if my answer is to stop watching games or just deal with it as a part of the world that I want to be 'in' but not 'of'.  I am getting better at that, but I still have some improvement to make.  Another thing that I am still improving in is even more important to me and that is living by the spirit.  Now that is a thing worth pursuing.  Today I had a very subtle impression to check the water in the stairwell and found it just right to start pumping.  That has happened several times and it is something to think that HE is concerned enough with me to inspire me on stuff so mundane as that.  If he does that on simple stuff I must expect the same on stuff that is more important.  How can I get better at recognizing it when it happens?     It is a subject that concerns me as it should.  It is one of the things that I try to focus on every day.  Hopefully, I am better at it then I was 'before' and I can only imagine how it might me 'after'.  I ought to ask you to let me know where I should take this blog thing.  (If you read it at all.)  What would you have me write that would be of interest to you? Please, let me know.
