I read that somewhere...how there is only growth if I move to the edge of where I'm already comfortable, then stretch just a toe over it, maybe even take a little step.
So today, rather than doing just one thing out there...or even maybe two...I plan to do at least 4, maybe 5 activities. Yes one is easy, then come home and relax and review the conversations, the things that were difficult, the ease with which I accomplished it.
Today after all my morning preps, I'm going to yoga at the Lakeview Center. Getting down on the floor and moving those old bones in different postures ever so easily (groans not allowed, well that's my own rule)...where the teacher lets me do just as much as I feel able. Then go upstairs for the Council on Aging supported lunch, which is one of my favorites, roast beef etc. That's 2.
3. Then I plan to drive to the DMV (Dept. of Motor Vehicles) in a nearby city (we don't have one in my small town) and get my drivers license renewed for another 5 years. That is the biggest thing to do, of course. Why? Well this may sound petty, but I have to have my picture taken. And that's the picture I'll have to flash any time someone wants a photo I.D. So it's a big thing. How shall I arrange my thinning hair? The last time I had it done my hair was down and somewhat curly, though at least the natural shade of white. Maybe I'll leave it down again, thus hiding my ears...which aren't all that bad.
See, my vanity is raising it's ugly head (which of course it would rather keep buried in the sand, thinking it is terribly ugly and all.)
4. And then, after either passing the test or not, I'm coming home and will fix something for a pot luck dinner at church. There's also a movie, but I never stay for it, because looking up at the big screen hurts my neck. And mainly because it's the last night of the Tournament of Champions for Jeopardy. OK, I know it's a rerun from last year...but I don't remember things too well, and really don't know who won. So that's the last activity on my list, and TV shows don't count, because I don't "go out" to do them.
So wish me luck on my 4 biggies. So far I don't think I have a thing to take to the pot luck...so that's on my mind as I go do shower, dress, breakfast and nebulizer treatment in less than an hour. Whizz.
well, the best laid plans, and all that! The crowd at the DMV office was awful, so I turned around and got a coke nearby, and gas ten cents a gallon cheaper than Black Mountain, and came home. I was worried about a possible thunder storm, but there wasn't one on I-40 coming back home. I've parked as if I'm not going out again this evening, so may just skip the pot luck. It will depend upon how my adventures in Ancestry go...my next event. My comfort zone was way left behind, and I kind of want to snuggle into it again.
