REALITY?: Decisions

Posted on March 7, 2004 by Susan

Perhaps a chart, a calendar with boxes large enough to hold a dozen items.

Catch up on Spanish
Continue rewriting my story (irony here)
Read at least a couple hours a day
Finish organizing the cellar (so that I can…)
Order the dryer (so that I don’t have to…)
Do the ironing
Catch up on picture framing
Do the books for the accountant
Figure out the RSS feed
Work on and finish up the banner
Feed the birds

There’s more, but I can’t think of it right now. The summer course schedule has been published so I need to put some thought into that as well. Even removing the goal of going on towards a Bachelor’s doesn’t mean I don’t want to finish up and graduate as soon as possible. I must add in that chart, “Learn to juggle.”

I hate the thought of hiding out in boxes when most of my life was spent in avoiding them. I’ll miss the freedom and the spontaneity, the excitement of not knowing. Too much is known right now, and too much planning must be made. Focus must be readjusted to crystal clear perception, and peripheral fields smudged outward to oblivion. And since this is going in a camera direction, the negatives must surely be destroyed.

    Here’s some irony for you my cousin is experiencing while she heads to retiring from the U.S. Navy in April, Maybe it can help:

    INNER PEACE

    “I am passing this on to you because it has definitely worked for me.. and at this time of year we all could use a little calm. By following the simple advice I read in an article, I have finally found inner peace. The article read: ‘the way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you’ve started.’

    ‘So I looked around the house to see all the things I started and hadn’t finished… and before coming to work this morning I finished off a bottle of red wine, a bottle of white, the Bailey’s, Kahlua, and Wild Turkey, my Prozac, some valium, my cigarettes and a box of chocolates.

    You have no idea how freakin good I feel…You may pass this on to those you feel are in need of Inner Peace.'”

    I wonder what the future holds for her once she retires?
