Week 15, Day 101 of April 2023

| Pals Hanging Out In the Sunshine |
Near mid April 2023, the temperature outdoors is on the rise. Planters wait to be filled. Sandals are at the ready. Summer plans are scribbled down via spring's enthusiasm for possibilities.
Are you a planner? Do you make lists, pack up brochures, surf the Internet for information? Plan your wardrobe?
In my old spiral notebooks, (before removing the wire to add to a lampshade form), I can read a few years worth of summer fun ideas. Revising them is bittersweet because too many plans sadly, didn't happen. The pandemic created too many pauses in my daydreams.
This, I believe, will be the first post pandemic summer starting on 21 June 2023. Masks, hand washing and such will still be part of our lives, but on a less urgent level. Taking precautions is wise living.
Now there are other viruses, bacteria, diseases, bugs and so on to be very cautious about. Oy vey!
I make lists when I'm going away. I dread leaving any of my 'essential bts and pieces' behind.
ReplyDeleteGraham,
ReplyDeleteThat is a good practice to have. Leaving things at home can ruin a trip.
It been ages since I felt really free to enjoy life. Maybe this year…I live in hope.
ReplyDeletePrayers, Marie, we can all enjoy life better this year
ReplyDeleteI'm a sort of planner. I plan for trips or certain things. Or certain projects. But I also play it as it goes. I had to be so specific when I worked, it's nice to be flex!
ReplyDeleteAm I a planner? Yes, but... I make lists. I dream up ideas. I often say "I plan to"... But I also often don't do those things. I guess I'm not a good planner. Unless someone is counting on me. I'm much more reliable and responsible with other people than I am for just myself.
ReplyDeleteIt'd be nice to enjoy life.
ReplyDeleteJeanie,
ReplyDeleteBeing flexible makes life easier, and, happier.
Becki,
