I am old. I rarely start anything new. Should I be doing more?
While wonder about that I started making a list of the roles I have played in my 74 years of living. That list currently has 46 items on it.
Some of the roles were all at the same time like wife, mother, and bookkeeper. The first two have been taking place for more than 50 years and some, like sister, have been all my life.
But all of them have lasted at least a few weeks.
So, I looked at that list and found myself thinking if each of them had been the only one at the time, and if each of them lasted six months, I would still not have to start anything new until I am 90 years old.
So, I am now, once again, content to do nothing much.
TTYL,
Linda
I do whatever I feel like, even if it’s nothing.
I like Monk’s answer! so I am going to claim it as mine too.
it has taken me 76 years to be able to do Nothing and not feel guilty!!! XOXO
I’m with the Monk as well – but I’m always open to trying new “things” like my exploration with my sewing machine right now. And I’m looking forward to leaving this current high level of lockdown as I’ve a shortage of coloured thread – today I wanted a “green” not either of the two “greens on hand” I have on hand… Yes I could order but I would rather “see” the colours…
