The Road Oft Taken

Picture(Calendar) Simplicity: Inspirations for a Simpler Life 2015 Deborah DeWit
Since becoming a professional educator, I’ve promised myself each summer I would complete whatever projects I’d been putting off due to being “too busy.” Summers came and went; I seldom got to the projects. When I went part-time four years ago, I told myself I would now work on various projects during the school year. Didn’t happen. My previous pattern of putting-off-until-summer continued.

For at least seven (8? 10?) years, I’ve been planning to cull through our photos and create a gallery in the hallway. A beadboard “anchor” was added to the designated wall. I bought a variety of frames and stowed them in various corners of the house. Then I continued to percolate the plan while adding massive amounts of digital photos to our collection.
​
Next week I go back to work, and… SURPRISE! 

​The PHOTOS!
The FRAMES!
The WALL!

I can hardly wait to begin – next summer!

I TOTALLY relate to this!!! I, too, bought a lot of frames and planned to do a similar project...only that was about ten years. Next summer, I guess...

Your post is most timely. August 27th retirement officially begins. For the first time in more than 34 years I have no demands on my time and no routine. Thanks to you I am conscious of the importance of setting a few priorities and establishing a routine because someday, in like 30 years I hope, the summers will be numbered. Frame the pictures, don't frame the pictures just promise me you will look back with no regrets. Love and hugs, Bonannie
