Last Saturday I had a complete day off. My grandson who I usually take to my house was busy. The online meeting I often attend on Saturday mornings wasn't meeting that Saturday. I wasn't taking my car anywhere to have anything done. I had a little grocery shopping and a prescription to order. There were things I could do, but not things I had to do.
I decided that I needed to plan something fun. Not going to the grocery store fun, but fun. I decided to go to lunch at a deli that I hadn't been to since long before the pandemic started. It is not at all close to my house, so I just don't think of it. I went to the deli and since it is sort of near to Trader Joe's I went there too. Trader Joe's is off my usual radar as well. I only go there once or twice a year.
It was fun lunching at the deli. It might have been more fun with a friend, but it was fun none the less. I got a chocolate truffle. At Trader Joe's I got the bag of mini avocadoes and some odds and ends of things I had never tasted before. And the olive oil, I love the olive oil. All in all I rate the day a success.
Even before the pandemic I was not very good at planning recreation. I tend to have a lot to do that never gets finished and so I think that I will do that stuff. But, I end up tired and watching television at the end of the day. I never feel refreshed. I am trying to remember that I need to keep myself in mind. I need to remember that everything will never be finished until I am dead. There is no sense in rushing that. I need to enjoy the dance, enjoy the journey.
