The Long Haul

Posted on April 10, 2014 by treshabarger

We’re a little slow to figure out
That Mother Nature is in it for the long haul, an ultra-marathoner
She probably wonders why we misbehave so
In our lives of short sprints

The long haul, the long view

Making Do

We look past places
With traits unlike our designs
Let’s make do, and thrive

Nest in an elevated pipe

Anything But Not Everything

Posted on July 5, 2013 by treshabarger

You can do anything, but you can’t do everything. ~ David Allen

I updated my to-do list and separated the items into “one and done” and “on-going.”

Quilting cruise to Alaska? One and done. Watercolor painting? On-going. Visit Montreal, Quebec, Canada? One and done. Knot tying? On-going.

The list continues. Looking at it, it appears I think I’m going to live a couple of centuries. At the end of the summer, I’ll revisit my list and remove a few items, culling it down to a number I think I can manage to take care of in only 127 years (or so).

With Glittering Eyes

And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it. ~ Roald Dahl
