Someday

Tomorrow, I turn 58 years old. It seems like yesterday that I was celebrating my 50th! Where does the time go? This milestone - 58 - is tougher to handle than my 57th. Last year I was just 2 years past 55 and this year I'm just 2 years away from 60. A lot seems to have transpired over one year.

Is that true? A lot has transpired over the past year?

Physically - I've gained weight again! Someday, I will accept myself as I am.

Emotionally - I've discovered that some people do not mellow with age, including me. Someday, I won't give a "dang" what other people say or do.

Spiritually - I'm blessed knowing that God loves me. Someday, I will become benevolent towards others as God is to me.

At the rate I'm going with the years racing by, "someday" will be here before I know it! Peace!

Getting Old or Getting Lazy?

Yesterday at a work meeting, several of us got on the subject of how many years of schooling it takes to get a masters in nursing or a degree in pharmacy. Every once in a while I think, "Maybe I should go back to school for....." Then I think, "Not!"

I have reached the point in my life where I don't want to learn much more. I want to just coast through my last working years and not tax my brain too much. That is somewhat burdensome to admit and somewhat embarrassing to admit. When did I get so old or so lazy or both? Even if I don't go to school, I still find that I'm learning on my job. Either it's skill and knowledge things that affect my department or it's personnel things on dealing with others. I wish I could learn how to turn off all the thoughts about work in the middle of the night or in the morning when I just want to get "one more hour of sleep." Some may call it "dedication," I call it frustrating! No more schooling for me, I spend enough of my hours at work, at least mentally that is!
