Productivity

I really enjoyed my day off yesterday.  It's funny how I get more enjoyment out of a day full of productivity, then I do from a day of rest or play.  It's only second place to a day with my kids/grandkids.  Even a half day wasted gives me a sense of letting my life get by me.  I think I get that from my dad.  He always wanted to do something "constructive". 

Discussing the prospect of looking for another home, my husband would love to find one that is move in ready and exactly the way we want it.  I on the other hand think that even if we found that house, I would still want to do 'something'.  It's in the doing.  The road to get there, not just the end result. 

I guess some think there are better things to focus on and truly I do feel that our number one focus should be God, then our relationships, and then 'the doing' somewhere down the list, but the feeling you get from a job well done and the satisfaction when you've done it yourself is really a great one.

Sometimes while watching TV you'll hear people say "we renovated our kitchen, we put in new carpet, etc, "   But what they really mean is they forked over the doe to have someone else do it.  hmmm.  not the same thing to me.  (sigh) the downer is that physically I am soooo limited.  But in  my imagination.....  I can do anything!!!
