Time seems to go by more swiftly the older I get. “I’ve got plenty of time to write a blog post,” I said to myself earlier today. And now it’s 4:00 p.m. and the hour draws nigh for going to church for soup supper, Lenten service and choir practice.
Where did the day go? I don’t necessarily feel like my life is very productive, but yet it still seems busy, even if that “busy-ness” isn’t jam-packed with significant and meaningful activities. Want to know what I did today? Here goes:
6:30 – 9:00: got up, did some stretches, reviewed some Bible verses, read 6 chapters of the Bible, prayed with hubby, read World magazine, read a section of Mere Christianity, read a few Emily Dickinson poems, read a section of “Every Moment Holy” by Douglas MacKelvey. Oh, and breakfast happened somewhere in there, too. And some kitchen clean-up.
9:00-10:30. We did our Hillsdale online class: Great Literature 101, Lecture #6 out of 11. We watched the lecture, taking notes, took the quiz, and then watched the Q&A session afterward.
10:30 – 11:30. Did some mending and a little watercolor painting. Worked on an email concerning a board meeting next week.
11:30 – 12:00. Worked on a puzzle.
12:00 – 1:00. Lunch and Perry Mason. More kitchen clean-up occurred.
1:00 – 2:30. Worked on the family history photographs, finishing up the section on my grandfather and his college years.
2:30 – 3:15. More work on the puzzle. It’s somewhat addicting.
3:15-4:00. Emails. Sent a friend some book recommendations. May have gotten carried away. Other emails got written, too.
So now you know! This rather laid-back schedule is a far cry from the days of homeschooling six children, but I had more energy then, too. Some days are busier than others – I haven’t even stepped outside yet today! I’m looking forward to warmer weather.
If you’ve read this far, you’re a better blog reader than I deserve. Thanks!
I’ll probably delete this in the morning if I can fit it into my extremely busy schedule…

I read every word and understand what you’re saying. I feel a lot the same way. We were in Truman with Grandchildren school activities today. Wonderful chapel service with the children singing hymns and then we were served lunch with them in the school cafeteria. After that having puzzle time with the 3 year old. Grandchildren are the best! Love their hugs and kisses and “I love yous”. Didn’t get home until almost 5:00…now we’re regrouping and getting ready to leave for church. See you there!

Oh, Julie! How nice of you to say that was a productive day! When I think of how busy you usually are, I feel like I’m practically standing still!! 😄. I’m glad someone remembers good old Perry Mason, too. ❤️
