Flying Solo

To my amazement, and many others, my 78 year old dad flew up from Florida this afternoon by himself! He's never flown alone before. He asked his 98 year old aunt for advice because she's flown alone quite frequently. And, he has health issues! But, he was determined to be here for my niece's (his Granddaughter's) wedding this Sunday.

This makes me wonder, how often do we hold ourselves or others back because of what we perceive is possible or not possible?

I'm interested in your comments about this. Post here or email me privately!

DEFEATED!

I woke up this morning feeling absolutely defeated! After spending quite some time clearing a path through the snow yesterday and having just about every bone in my body aching, we got more snow! This morning our 450 foot long driveway that my 15 year old cleared down to the blacktop at around 2 pm yesterday was now covered in another 6-8 inches of heavy snow. My husband was stuck in NYC and had been there through the entire storm.

Although I got very little work accomplished yesterday because of the time spent clearing the sidewalk, driveway and cars, today was already shaping up to be the same! I really thought my life was already SuperBusy, this snow just added a whole other dimension that I certainly didn't need.

So, I'm curious, how many of you had to clear your plate to handle snow yesterday or today? How did you take care of what you weren't able to accomplish in other parts of your life?

Today I had a new appreciation for the people in Washington DC and that area who were dealt two big snow storms in less than a week and a definite yearning for those in sunny warm places. Hawaii here I come!!
