I'm in my office earlier then usual. While we were getting dressed I asked Sheila about what we would do starting tomorrow when she doesn't have to set the alarm for 6 to get up to go to work. Funny how routines are imposed on us due to certain circumstances. I have actually felt pretty good about my morning routine, but I know me. I have never described myself as much of a morning person. One of my new challenges is how to deal with the fact that my light fixture in my office died yesterday. It has been a problem, but when we got back from Bear Lake (last year!) it had fixed itself and I kept it on all of the time because I didn't trust it to come back on if I turned it off. Well, yesterday morning it 'fizzed' and died. I was able to coax a 2nd desk lamp into light with a new bulb and I put a call in to 'my' electrician. But I'll just do what I can until it can be replaced or fixed or whatever. (Yes, there is always something!) I guess that you are all pretty busy right now. There are 2 grand kids graduating from their high school today. And soon a move 'back home' for some. All kinds of travel plans during the next couple of months, and birthdays all over the calendar. And like I stared out, these two oldsters have a change ourselves. It makes me examine things and I notice that other things have or will change too. We have a bit of envy for friends that we know who are on missions or retired or seem to be living easy. But we really like where we are. The challenges are the same: some easier and some harder, but still pretty much what all of you are facing. We don't spend much time wishing because our reality takes up all of our time. But it sure could be lot worse. The best part of it is that we are together.
