The Life of Lou Ruppert

Sometimes we just need to count what we’ve gotten done instead of obsessing over what we didn’t get to. Things keep coming up that bump the things I’d planned, but I still end the day ahead of where I started. I like that. Today I may not have done any homework, and certainly didn’t make any major strides at work, but I did drop off my taxes, finally.

And when I came home, there were two white crocuses I didn’t spot yesterday, visible even in the rain, and one gorgeous variagated blue-white one in the middle of my lawn. Where did that come from?! And my compost permit showed up, which means the next time I have a free Saturday, I can go load up on free compost at one of the county recycling centers.

It was a good day, even if I might not readily admit it to myself.
