We are busily organizing the rest of the year, something we just love to do. The question of how long we will be in Nova Scotia and when we will return to Texas gives us great pleasure. I know that one is supposed to live for the moment and not pay much attention to the past or the future, but I have always felt that you must pay a lot of attention to the future or the future will be decided for you by circumstances. Our present situation is a perfect example. We set up the system of avoiding ice and snow several years ago, long before we could make use of the weeks here. Now that we are both retired, we are able to make use of the system we established years ago. Today, we could not afford it.
The part of the future that we can not ignore is that the future will soon become the present whether or not you are prepared. Real Estate agents know better than anyone. You fix a date for settlement and the date arrives whether or not everyone has done their job. The real trick is to try to figure out what is needed in ten years, then be ready with everything in place when the time comes. Not easy to do but certainly better than giving no thought to the future and making no preparations.
I have had such fun putting the ballet recital into my calender, on May 14th. We'll be there, God willing, because we have planned ahead.
