I've been up for about three hours and realise I haven't yet achieved anything significant. I don't regard having breakfast as worth counting because I do that every day; I'm talking about a real achievement like mowing the lawn or even something as trivial as making the bed. As you get older, you inevitably set your sights lower when considering getting things done but you can't afford to let your standards drop too far.
So, let's have a think about what I might achieve today. Making the bed will be a good start. Mowing the lawn might be a possibility but it will have to dry up a bit first. Should I set myself the task of writing a story? I haven't written anything significant for a while so that might be a good challenge. My desk is starting to get a bit cluttered and that's an on-going problem which really deserves a more permanent solution.
Should I attack my wardrobe and discard any clothes I haven't worn for a while? It doesn't appeal but will have to be done sometime ... maybe not today.
Maybe I should involve Marilyn in coming up with a solution; she can always identify what needs some attention but if I ask her I'll feel obliged to do what she suggests and that might not be what I feel like.
Perhaps I'll have another cup of coffee and hope something occurs to me.
