I think this morning may be one of the first mornings that I have time to think about some new goals, since retirement almost two years ago.  I did have a meeting I was suppose to attend for one of my volunteer organization at 7:30 this morning but when I woke up I decided I just didn't want to go, it was suppose to be a breakfast wrap up of what has been done all year.  I'm pretty sure I want to drop this volunteer activity as I don't feel like I really do anything to make the world a better place with it, someone else is doing all the work and I just am there.  I wanted to be involved with schools when I retired but this post doesn't make me feel useful, so I think I will resign.

What I started writing about was new goals.  I need to start getting to bed at a more reasonable time, so that I get out of bed at what I would consider a reasonable time, say 7 or 8.  I need to take a 30 minute walk everyday.  I need to start having a regular morning routine, tea and toast in the morning, at least one hour of reading and one or two hours of writing --what should I write about, besides post on the blog, I should decide.  Even if nothing ever gets published from my writing I should attempt it since Ive said for a long time that I should write.  If I give myself at least four hours a day for the above I will still have lots of day left for family, crafts, TV, socializing, and volunteering--all things I want to do.  Writing it down I hope will make me do it!

I was planning on having the whole day at home to myself but I just got a phone call with an offer too good to pass up.  Son John called and asked if I could go over to their house for one of the boys, and then go to see a movie with them, The Avengers Endgame, and then pizza dinner with them.  I guess my afternoon and evening is planned.  

I've started moving my plants outside on the balcony.  I'm thinking this means I have some confidence that spring is here.  I hope so!  I have two hours to finish up everything I want to get done before I start running around.  I wonder if Pippy is posting?
