I don't know if it's
retirement, age or a long life with this ability but I feel I'm
slipping, becoming soft am looking for the easy way out. Snow fell
during the night, not much less than 2 inches but enough fell to
cover everything was frozen whiteness. Of course the snow is followed
by freezing temperatures. I was listening to the radio this morning
at seven o'clock and the high of the day had been reached and it was
27°. Shamefully I must admit I was happy to hear my friend David, at
Assist, Inc. canceled this morning board meeting. There was a time
when I did not think twice about suiting up and headed out to a
meeting or function I was supposed to be at. I even look down on
those able-bodied folk who did show up to a meeting most likely
because the weather.
I prided myself on making
these events but nobody else did. Perhaps, it was the only way I look
better than other folks, maybe I needed this false illusion of my
validity and vitality. Now however, and retirement, and begin to see
things different. I still have guilt for missing meetings that I
could've made but elected not to go. I'm a volunteer now, just a
ghost of who I used to be. I make the decisions for I will go.
Yesterday I left my tablet
at 211. I called 211 on the train on my way homeTo have my electronic
found and secured. I told the operator I spoke with to give the
equipment to Sarah who I'm sure will take good care of the device.
Now I just have to man up, Dress-up and headed to the city to pick
tablet. I had almost decided to blow off my workout session today but
I really would like to get my tablet . It is a shame how dependent
I've become.
So, I need to get dressed
get something to eat, warm, head out into the storm, snow.
