Lioness, I exaggerate. Truly. It's when I do find myself flat out, I chide myself. Am I lazy, to some it would seem not. But, to me, it seems so. I've worked on farms, raised 6 kids, been involved in much of church business. Cooked for receptions, refinished furniture, cared for the incapacitated. So, when I find myself in the prone position, it just seems so wrong. When I call myself lazy, it is in comparison to my awesome productive life. Do take it tongue in cheek.
You are so right. It is up to me to get moving, produce, get it done. We are in charge, for the most part, but reality is that my abilities are compromised by stroke, etc. Does that mean STOP? Nope, just means change direction. There are few limits as to the possibilities for productivity. Won't be the same, but there is plenty to be done! You are so kind to call me on. Thank you!
