Day 7 - 314 -- Embracing Flexibility

What a lovely warmer sunny day! I walked out to pay bills and get an item from the drugstore. I encountered a colleague and we chatted for a while to catch up. It was such fun to speak with her as it has been months since we have done more than wave from a distance. The front yard has been transformed into a grass green ground colour. The leaves were blown and removed -- a giant pile was visible out front for a while -- so amazing. A weekly phone update with a friend went longer than usual, but we had lots to say, it seems <smile>. Always a great time to check in. 

During the day, I did laundry that just didn't get done over the weekend as other activities interfered. A couple of other 'must do'  items will have to be pushed to tomorrow after the meetings and appointments of the day. Winter readiness for feet and the car needs to be addressed soon. With some concerted effort and needed energy, these might occur soon. I wasn't procrastinating today; the activities I did took a little longer than expected, but this wasn't a problem. Being flexible is necessary. The challenge has been to understand that a fluid agenda can work. Just because the key items planned were not completed, does not mean that the day was wasted <smile>. I felt this way often when working, so need to find a way to alter the outlook when retired. <grin>.

The song for today was chosen for the title, which fits my thoughts of the day. Stay safe. Enjoy!
