This virus may have it’s good points. You might have to look hard, but if nothing else…. it is helping me to prioritize and think about important things.

I admit it. I’m the world’s greatest procrastinator. If you are into the enneagram, I am a full-fledged number 9 (or so Denise tells me). That means that my motto is: “Why do today what you can put off until tomorrow?” I know that drives you crazy dealing with people like me, but I’m working through it.

The bright side of this virus for me is that I start doing things that I should be doing simply because I’ve run out of other things to do.

I’ve done more projects than I have in quite a while. I’ve washed mold off crepe myrtles, hung pictures, touch up painting and even done burpees the last few days! We’ve done some fun things that we had put off as well. I had procrastinated every time Denise talked about taking a drive to the Painted Churches near Schulenburg and guess what? It was really a great relaxing time.

I looked and the last time I updated this blog was in September. Wow! I really enjoy this (when I do it). We started it to share our journey and maybe help others, but I put it off way too long.

I’m rediscovering that doing projects, short drives and even blogging gives me a lot more peace than the other things that I was finding to avoid them.

What are your doing to take advantage of this “virus down time”?
