Today begins day four of the first workweek as a retiree.

There was a fair amount of catchup work to do because the actual date only left 25 days notice.

Add in travel, a big work load, and a pressing deadline and you have the perfect recipe for the paperwork of life to pile up quickly.

Made a big dent in the pile yesterday.

Goal for today – eliminate any remaining pile.

The daily work required to free ourselves up from the burden of work left undone is insidiously draining.

We simply don’t have the bandwidth… is that it?

Memorial day weekend was a few days ago (as this was penned). Facebook was absolutely flooded with an awareness of the efforts endured and the sacrifices made to be able to live peacefully in the land of the free.

September 11 is going to come and go quickly too.

Do we only tell our spouse/partner we love them on our anniversary?

Being decently organized creates a broadband single that allows us to have less interference with the things that matter.

No rest for the weary.

If the world is heavy and challenging for us, hang in there.

Do a little everyday to dig out.

We surrender when we stop digging.

And this also commits us to a downward spiral.

Dig a little bit everyday.
