Less than two weeks til the gang arrives for the fourth…and there’s still doors to paint in the girls room, a whole lotta stuff crammed in my room that has to disappear, the changing of my wardrobe for the season, the downstairs room to ready for guests, food to consider, and a general yard, garage, and house cleaning to be done, but……
It’s a perfect 80 degrees, low humidity, not a cloud in a stark blue sky – and there the beach sits, just waiting for my chair. I wanna….but I’ve got all this….but I wanna… Hey wait? Don’t I have a huge book that I just started that has to be done for book club next week? Of course! Add that to the “to do” list, and..well… I just have to set aside two hours to read it today, soooo…now is just as good a time as any.
Tap, tap, go my sandals on the pavement, bag jangling over my shoulder, and chair bumping gently against my hip. Up the path, down the path. Here’s a great spot.
Ahhh…there we go. Chair, water, phone, feet in the sand, book on lap, and the tide coming in with the waves edging toward me. Yes, we must always be diligent and attend to our “to do” list.
And so, as another day goes by, there’s nothing like the feeling of accomplishment, and ….I have written.
