Keeping them balls in the air......

So I am juggling -- I should be slowing down but I am not.   I am just playing with new balls!   The end game is the same!   Yesterday I ran all day --my bath tub kept filling up with junk and I called my friend, Mark, to come and look at it.   We ran water and sure enough, junk came out into the water.  He was not concerned --pulled off the silver faucet or whatever it is called, said it was old and gunky and we headed for Menard's to replace it....and prayed that they would have a replacement of the same ilk.  (Which they did!)

Then I went to dinner with Matt from the Baptist Student Center and we talked about fund-raising and what one had to do in order to accomplish goals since that is his major interest.  Since he wants to go into the seminarian business, it better be his major goal, since that is mandatory in any seminarian field or non-profit field I have ever seen.   But goals have to be considered and set, before, they can be reached!  That is the part that no one wants to do.

And then, there is all the work getting stuff ready for my tax person and the book of data information that he wants prepared for my personal representative.  And the files, and the documentation, etc.  Even funeral plans, trust documents and what I want said in the article that goes to the newspaper at my death.  C'mon, I won't be there to read it.  What do I care what the article says!  But I do.

Juggling!   Who said retirement is retirement!   I continue to juggle all day with projects, calls from family and friends  --and running!    I was just interrupted in this writing by someone calling to tell me that someone wanted to give a scholarship and would I notify the University.   Okay, so I am retired but those people are my "peeps".  Another ball in the air this morning!   Another thought from a book on juggling, "To learn how to juggle, you have to be willing to drop balls!"
