calldoctoday I feel your pain. I just learned to accept the fact that I will be as productive as I can everyday, but also learn to enjoy everyday. Take time to spell the roses as they say
YooperDog I am learning too, but I guess I am a slow learner & still have that itch in my back about getting my energy back, no, just half of it. Heck, I would be completely satisfied with 1/4.
calldoctoday I get up early and work late, but now I take a step or two back and enjoy the sunrise and sunset. I have plenty of irons in the fire now as I have in the past but I have started (forcing myself) to enjoy the process. My mom, 84 YO is the same, frustrated that she can’t accomplish everything she wants daily. Maybe it is a genetic thing. I know some that don’t do a thing and are happy campers.
YooperDog I understand. I have always seen both as well. Some learn to stop & smell the roses & some still get pricked by the thorns. I have learned to stop & smell them a bit more & enjoy the ride, but still wish I could do a better job of it & eliminate a few more of those pesky thorns too. I guess I am asking for too much, wanting to have the best of both worlds.
calldoctoday So you had health care taken away from you too?
That was my meaning in the previous post.

I'd rather be sit'in in a boat and thinking about God,
Than sit'n in church and thinking about fish'in!
@dennyo Health Care & a few other things.

Amen brother, it took two back surgeries for me to come to that realization, but I will say it is indeed a true statement.
@dennyo here’s the thing. I don’t work half as hard as I used to and I will never put the job in front if my family. I have always told the new rookies at work, “this is what we do, it’s not who you are”. There’s nothing wrong with hard work, as long as your priorities are in order.
