"Get To"

The air is cool and dry....the windows are open....and I'm actually enjoying getting to do my chores and daily tasks again.

I started with the things that are alive: tending to the birds, the plants...inside and out.

Then I sat down for a while.

My fragrant royal standard hosta buds are starting to open....

and these sweet little purple buds are starting to show their color.

I wrote about this plant a year ago in this post:

Then I moved to the other time sensitive things like finishing and getting out a  Condo Newsletter....which I call "In And Around Parsons Pond." It takes a lot of time...but it's one of the important way I contribute to my condo community.

Then I took a nap.

I heard once that by shifting your thinking from "I have to" to "I get to" do things like chores and tasks makes things seem more appealing. Being sick for a week also puts that "get to" bounce into my chores steps.
