You know those day planners that very busy people in the working world need to keep their lives running smoothly? Well, guess what? Seniors need them just as much.
Last night I watched as 2 of our friends scanned their day planners trying to find a day in February that wasn't already taken up so we could all make it to the zoo. It finally turned out that someone had to give something up or we couldn't go. Three of us gave up coffee morning and line dancing. We're going to the zoo on Monday, February 4th. Granted, our lives are filled with activities of our own choice but they still have some degree of commitment that has to be taken into consideration. Not everything is easily cancelled.
While they had their day planners out we planned a day at the liquidators (for Ebay stuff), a barbecue day, a pot luck day, and a baseball day. All for February and all shifted countless times so they didn't interfere with other plans.
We lead an exceptionally busy life here in Florida but all that changes once we get back home in mid April. Life settles down to normal. I have my flea market plus other bits and pieces so I don't get bored but it must take a bit of getting used to if all you have to look forward to in the summer is housework.
Right now I'll just enjoy my busy life and keep hoping it will go on for many years to come.
