This week I have done very little but work and come home and read on the sofa.
In that quiet time I have learned a few things - some I already knew, some are new things:
I have discovered that I have gluten "sensitivity" and that sugary things give me a tummy ache.
That I am on a roller coaster because of working all week and then going to a class on Saturday and another one starts on Monday night. I happen to love roller coasters but this one is a doozy.
That you have to make time to catch up with friends and however you do it, squeeze in the time for some kind of visit or communication.
That you can design, print and mail out 50 invitations to your mom's 90th birthday party in only two hours.
That I love love love having a breeze on my face when sleeping.
That peepers are ever hopeful, and will peep if the temp goes high in the middle of winter.
That it's OK to take a vacation from being active, doing a million things, always on the go...and just lay on the sofa reading.
What did you learn this week?

I loked reading what you've learnt this week. And especially that your beloved mom is going to be 90! Holy smoke!
I have learnt that being retired means one still has to have regular routines or one feels adrift.

I learned to appreciate my three-month job...
To be grateful for our *strange* California mild weather this time of the year...
I am always grateful for true, loving friends... for the unexpected magic of Nature - wherever one lives -
Please give your beautiful Mum a HUGE hug and kiss from me! 90 years is so wonderful - and - she is still such a beauty - and a Diva!
Love,

I have been thinking about your question for a couple days and you know I don't know what I have learned.. LOL congrats on your mom turning 90. Have fun. and thanks for your comment.
I love your list.
Happy Birthday to your beautiful mom!
This week I learned, that there is life after this flu :-).
I learned that I cannot go much longer than 4 weeks without doing art and then I go mad. I get to do art tomorrow before that happens :-).
I hope you had fun in class.

i leave the window open even in the deep of winter. hearing those peeps on the coldest of days always brings a smile to my heart, knowing that they have eternal hope the warmth will return.
happy birthday wishes to your dear momma. what a great daughter you are. xo
I'm sorry you're so swamped.
No peepers here in Oregon, at least none that I know of. I sure miss them.
happy 90th Mom!!1
I learned to be grateful no matter what hardship I'm facing.
I learned my job is affecting my physical and mental health and I'm hoping to find new direction.
I sleep with the window open all winter too. I have to have fresh air!
And yes, making time for friends. I haven't done that lately, but I will.
It's all good Mim♥
