Yesterday I had the urge to re-paint one wall in the lounge. This morning I went to look out the paint, in the garage, as I was going to mixup a couple of colours to see the result. Not good, one pot has 'blown'. So I've wrapped it in many layers of black plastic bags, and now have to re-think. Maybe a good sort out of the garage is needed. So the painting will be put off till another day. You see, it's not good to have urges at my age.?

I try to remember that tomorrow never comes because it is always today.

I had a surprise phone call from a distant friend just this week. It was lovely to hear from her, and now I have all her contact details. We had lost touch since her last house move. I am going to make arrangements to meet up half way between our two homes.

A rather polite reminder to all of us who are thinkers rather than doers ......and yes very often this is all we need to actually make the effort and get in touch ............. so from me its a big thank you Phoenix.

A friend of mine approaching 70 is going to spend his birthday year trying to contact all the people he has lost touch with over the years.

Thanks phoenix - a nice reminder

I did mean to phone an elderly relative this morning but we got stuck into sorting out paperwork.
I will phone later after she's had her rest.

This happened to me and I deeply regret not making contact sooner as sadly she had passed away.

To sort through that cupboard, scrub the skirting boards, start the diet, clean the windows, start insisting that the cat doesn't sleep on the bed/sit on the newspaper you are trying to read, take up Yoga, try that recipe that you cut out of the newspaper/magazine four months ago blush

But today is the best day to contact a friend that you haven't been in touch with for a while, even if you feel you have nothing much to say.

Oooh errr, I seem to have come over all Patience Strong!
