Today it is all about TIME!
The 19th is a Saturday, and in much of my life, that was a day of getting everything done for the week. I shopped for groceries, cleaned the house, did things with dh & the kids that there was no time for during the week. It was usually a long day, starting with early hockey practice and often ending with a night out with friends.
Now that I am retired, it takes me all week to do half the things I used to accomplish on Saturday! And I am thankful that if I feel like creating something on a Wednesday morning, that is when I will do it. If I want to watch a PVR'd TV show on a Thursday afternoon, I can do that too. One thing I am especially thankful for is the time to have that second cup of coffee in the morning, with no rush to go somewhere, do something.
In another way, I am simply thankful for the time I have been granted since my illness. Time to slow down a little, enjoy life, travel, explore, and really participate in the things I love to do.
I don't have a page for this yet, but because I am fascinated with the concept of time, I have tons of scrappy supplies to represent it. Probably won't include a photo, but I have some cool quotes on some of the papers.
