A journal reflecting the experiences of an old woman.
August 9, 2024
Life seems to be quieter lately even though I am swamped. I think the key is organization and I'm working very hard to organize my place and mind. Constant changes interrupt the best plans and as I get older it takes a bit longer to adjust and re-think the plan to make it viable. It's good for me in some ways because it helps keep me on my toes. When I was younger this sort of ever-changing schedule and tasks made me angry and frustrated. I've learned to laugh now because I realize the adjustments don't mean anything was done incorrectly, there's simply a better way to get things done
and I've managed to find it! Aren't I the (smart) ass?
The key is to minimize. I tell myself every day to keep it simple. You would never believe how I minimize.

The only thing I can say about today is it's been weird.
I didn't write but I did do a lot of reading. That messy desk of mine looks neater and more organized so I did accomplish quite a bit. There are a lot of ideas rolling around in my head about Esther. The story of Esther needs to be told.

Beautiful day in Massachusetts today. I spent most of the day with Mom at the home but she barely spoke and was somewhat out of it. Discouraging.
Today is my son's birthday. He and his family have relocated to Florida so my granddaughters and I didn't get together and bake him a surprise cake that in years past was never really a surprise for him.
