The housework will always, always wait for you. I'm glad your trees are doing well. I still remember those heartbreaking pictures. Despite all your busy-ness, you sound amazingly peaceful in this entry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283072392763163737.post-70046352511918470112006-09-02T20:01:00.000-07:002006-09-02T20:01:00.000-07:00Ah Lisa, you can't do it all!

You had all the time in the world before this to do all the things you lament over not having time for now. For heaven's sake, you're only one woman with two hands (I assume) and there are only so many hours in a day. I swear there seems to be less of them but that's an "over fifty" perspective which I definitely have. Don't forget that having all that time on your hands to "do" these things you list wasn't bringing you much joy and happiness in the months, years prior to your wonder and excitement at taking on this new adventure. Pace yourself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283072392763163737.post-13633616020330032102006-09-03T00:26:00.000-07:002006-09-03T00:26:00.000-07:00Always nice to stop by your journal.

Lovely.<br>Seems like all of your readers can relate wholeheartedly to this entry. All of us have made the decision to read your writing when we could be doing so many other things, too. Hear, hear to everything you HAVE accomplished in the past two months! Get a perspective--you started your own restaurant, for God's sake! You've inspired reflection and camraderie in all of us sharing your ups, downs, and thoughts. Forget the weeds; even here in the desert the recent rains have brought elephant-eye crops of weeds, ditto all over the country. Only those with no life are out there hacking. We're all short of time, but the time I take to stop by Coming to Terms are the best use of time I can think of.<br>*debbi*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283072392763163737.post-13780310406916014022006-09-04T12:42:00.000-07:002006-09-04T12:42:00.000-07:00There's a poplar plantation on the way to work.
