Watching the snow

Monday February 11...the snow is falling, the wind is blowing. I shovelled for about half an hour just to get a path down to the car and clean out in front of the car. School was delayed so A. stayed home until almost 8:30 before she came down to get into the car.

I thought I might get the truck out of the lane and go in to pick up the mail. However, I'm not sure the work is worth it because I really don't expect any mail. It is just an excuse to get out.

Instead I might just do some of those wonderful things I said I might do like finish the basement insulation and frame up the bath room down stairs.

But then I might just curl up with a book and doze between pages and watch the snow fall.

The trail I made for my cross country skiing is now deep in the snow and new trail breaking is in order sometime today...maybe.

Life is hard when you are retired and have all these decisions to make.

Meanwhile I cogitate about world affairs and politics and people. In the past I thought I could do something about these things. Now I realize that I can only control my life and not always that. So I have only one purpose here and that is to enjoy my life as much as I can. Try not to hurt others and try to help others when the opportunity arises. fiat
