How does one get out of lapsing. Not having time for the things you absolutely love. Trying to get other items off the list so you can get back to your favourite pastime. Has my life returned to that awful ‘Busy’ stage. I sincerely hope not.
I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. But. Wait. That light is being shrouded by other projects. Projects that need to be done. But projects that are really not on my ‘Happy to be retired radar’.
My quilting is amiss. My blogging is flushed. My gardening has been relegated to watering when I can and a quick walk through my garden to cut back the dead leaves.
I have been making time for friends and family. They are the problem. Too needy. LOL. Can’t do without them though.
And on top of it all, I miss my children and grandchildren, more importantly.
Where has my retirement dream gone?
This is an SOS to all those who have been here and overcome.
HELP!!!
Explore with me 
Denise, go with the flow where ever that takes you and make time for your creativity. Life / retirement is too short for this thing they call ‘busyness’. Hang a sign on your door, ‘No ‘busyness’ here today.’

I sometimes feel the same way! Plus I have so many interests. And then I’ll think about adding something, but I have enough already. I don’t have any answers for you other than, we can only live one day at a time. I also have to take care of myself (i.e. get my walking in); otherwise, I can do none of anything! Gorgeous picture of the flower with the bee!

I added time boundaries to the things I desire to complete, leaving room for what comes up. I don’t have complete control but some control is returned to me in this process. I work from there.
