Looking Forward

I have always had trouble looking at the moment. I don’t enjoy what I have to do. I love to look forward and think about what could be done, I even enjoy the thought of doing those things myself. The future tends to sneak up on me and usually ends up biting me from behind as I realize that the moment when doing should have started is past.

Today has a lot of doing to be done. I am not going to write a lot here because…I must be the doer, and I must begin this morning.

Kris’ mom is coming into town tomorrow morning and I need to get her room ready, a few meals planned and general clean up done around the house. The great thing about Kris’ mom…well one of the great things…is that she isn’t picky. She has never even hinted that I’m not a good housekeeper and she makes herself at home here without making me feel like I’m not meeting her needs in some way. I appreciate that. Owen has only improved this situation as she is so wrapped up in his attention that she could really care less about anything else. It’s great. The fact that she doesn’t complain has always made me want to try harder to please her. There is, I think, a bit of wisdom to be gained from that.
