Work!

After a great deal of thought, I have come to the conclusion that we all want something worthwhile to get us up on the morning. It does not have to change the world just have some meaning for us and others who are important to us and not necessarily all of them.

Recently, this week in fact, I returned to work full time. This is giving me a chance to reflect on the past few months which most of the time did not include work. How did I spend my time? I was not bored!

One of the luxuries that I enjoyed was reading the newspapers each morning and then doing the crossword in one of them- I am getting better. I get 3 dailies- that is one of my indulgences. The other two crosswords go across the street each day to a neighbour who does the crosswords for recreation. Her son was visiting recently and he commented how important these crosswords are for her. She is a very active person in her 80's and I appreciate his comment but I know that she has many interests that fill her days.

After breakfast and the papers, computing would be done. I won't list the many things that involve computing but I can say the computer is a wonderful tool that makes life easier (most of the time ) and communication more efficient. I am very happy to have a computer as part of my life.

Music fills my days: my trio, orchestra, octet in the summer and also groups that I sub with. Days pass quickly and there never seems to be enough time to do all the practising that I hope to do.

This gets me to lunch time and I have not included all the tennis that I play. Usually, I manage to play 6 days a week! Wow! Love it.

Now unfortunately, it is time to return to work and earn the pay cheque that I am given.

Have a wonderful day and enjoy.
