not 39 any more

This is finally the eve of my next year. I have decided that I am ready to be over 39 years old. There has been a lovely fiction in feeling 39. Now that I am giving up that myth, I plan to act a little more mature. The weekly work on quilts and art may not hold the same place in my daily life.  I must look at more of the whole.  health is no longer to be taken for granted,. I see myself being much more deliberate about exercise as a necessity.  I still do not think it is healthy to aim at                       productivity as a virtue. I have too many interests to give up a bunch just to be productive. I will make progress on exercise in order to enjoy life and have the energy to make art. an hour for meditation for spiritual health is needed. an hour for exercise for health.a n hour for culinary work is needed to nurture our bodies.    an  hour for reading and an hour of together time to feed our marriage see
