What are your priorities, day to day, or more broadly?

[grahamg]

I thought a thread on people's priorities might be revealing, either simplistic day to day stuff, or more broadly, and whether those priorities have changed much throughout your life?

Mine have I'm sure, but I'll wait to hear whatever others have to say before boring you with mine.

 

[Aunt Bea]

My priority at this point in my life is to remain independent in every way.

 

[officerripley]

My only priority is to keep trying to resign myself to the fact that I'm not having , nor will ever have, the retirement and old age I was hoping to have. It's getting harder and harder, though, being old and tired already.

 

[tbeltrans]

My priority is to bore people here with my posts.

Other than that, trying to lessen the "to do" list so I can feel as if I really am retired.

I'm in the race for that prize too, as you maybe already knew!

 

[grahamg]

Staying alive.

"Good start"!

 

[grahamg]

Sleep
Eat
Play
Remember to charge my phone

My "eat and sleep" credentials are exempt!art, but play is almost as necessary I agree, (phone charging maybe not my strong point!).

Good, (thought the thread would have had many similar responses)!
My feelings about "family" have flipped in the last decade so that some reliable friends, or more distant relatives mean more perhaps(?).

 

[MarciKS]

just making it to the next day right now

 

[katlupe]

Basically for me it is to make my life the best I can so I am happy.

 

[chic]

I was exercising yesterday and strained a muscle in my back. I was ok but the weather got really cold and I've stiffened up so much it's hard to walk. The day before, I was exercising to vigorously and accidentally punched myself in the eye. I put Arnica on it really fast and though it's little swollen, it's not black.

My priority at this moment is to recover fast and fully because I have to go out tomorrow and staying in is dangerous to me.

You're lucky, it would have been longer if covid restrictions weren't in place.

[Ruthanne]

My top priority is trying to maintain my health and all that goes with aging and the body going through changes, keeping myself clean, taking care of my pet family, balancing the budget.

 

[RubyK]

I just keep on keeping on.

I just keep on keeping on.

 

[Remy]

I still work part time so I try to survive that. I like to craft but I'm having terrible trouble with carpel tunnel syndrome. Other than that I'm wondering daily for how many more years my stepfather will ruin my life.

 

[Aunt Marg]

I'm with RubyK, one day at a time, and each day I awake, I count my blessings that I am here for another day.

My adage in life...

- Keep on truckin'
- Keep on keeping on
- Think positive
- Don't sweat the small stuff
