Post-Vacation downtime

It seems ironic that returning from vacation should result in a period of reduced activity, but that is the way it is for me right now. Maybe when you are retired, vacation has a different function. I really don't know where to go with that, though. I mean, I don't have a routine that consumes my entire week, as I did when I was employed full time. But I do seem to have quite a few things going -- workouts twice a week, bike riding, some running, church work at my local church and in a committee at the Presbytery level. That seems to suck up enough time that my husband said, as I worried about having missed a meeting, "You mean there's something at the church that you aren't going to?" Oops. Might want to rethink the word NO and its relevance to my life. Remember that comment about church work being something wherein it is the volunteer who sets the limits? So true.

I had a great time at Chautauqua and recommend it to one and all. Now I am home and have to find a reason to continue. No, that sounds way to serious. Life is sweet, as I realize over and over these days. There are things that confound, confuse, irritate and downright scare me. But overall...

I am going to pick out a 5k to run this fall. That will give me some focus. Sigh.
