Schedule

   Schedule, simple word, simple idea, simple to create, HARD to follow.

   Now that summer is in its death throws ( sorry for that ), it is time for me to pick up where I left off in May when the weather dictated the day. When you are young, summer is outdoor activities, camping, time to relax. When you are and adult ( old ), summer is projects, cleaning and preparing for that other season we all love ( why live here if you don't? ). I have made the best of the VERY short summer weather by getting as many outdoor projects done as I possible could. Normally I would just choose random things to do and be content with the results, not this year. Being on the IHC team, I needed to make a plan with the intention of completing it and showing the results. Sounded simple in December when I made my list. Now it's September and I look at my list and I can honestly say I as very pleased with what I accomplished. Our backyard has never looked better. I am truly ready for winter, all that's left is to pick the apples and get the shovels out.

   This takes me back to my "schedule". I knew the summer would change my routine/schedule as Mother Nature doesn't seem to care if I need a dry day here or there, so as the old saying goes, "make hay when the sun shines", so a sunny dry day meant get outside and get busy, numbers later. Well now that Fall is right around the corner and my outside work is done, time to pick up where I left off in May. Easier said than done.

   I look at the number of days gone in the year and see the number of days left. 213 gone, 152 left.  Where did the time go? Is there time to finish my numbers? Of course there is! The only impediment to that goal is me, not time. If I truly want to achieve a successful year and complete my goals, only I can make that happen. So back to my routine and success, time be damned.
