It somehow helps you to sort through what is really mportant and prioritize. Especially when you get another funeral notice! I seem to be getting more use from a black suit than my party clothes lately. Reaching this place gives you permission to do things like say 'no thank you' with more ease, call people you haven't spoken to in a long time.... and get serious about using a stash!<BR/><BR/>My weaving stash is 'generous' and now I seem to buy mostly books (when new titles appear) Not yarn so much anymore unless I *really* need it. This means when I really need it, there's no agonizing anymore....I just do it!<BR/><BR/>Also reaching this place ( and this can happen at any age) you tend to notice things that others are simply too busy to see.<BR/>Like the new buds on the hydrangea, the tulips coming up and the birds with nesting material in their beaks.<BR/><BR/>Hugs, SusanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12698509.post-40556975934583319742007-02-21T14:49:00.000-08:002007-02-21T14:49:00.000-08:00I love being That Certain Age!When people sign up ...I love being That Certain Age!<BR/><BR/>When people sign up for your classes, you could take half of their money as a deposit for you holding the day open. That way, they get to reserve you for that day and if they cancel, you get money for your teaching-turned-fabric-shopping day! A true win-win!Nadiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16514261193556422663noreply@blogger.com
