Early morning visits to the patio these days produce a certain perspiration. Remember, this girl don’t like to sweat, so time out there is short these days. The weather is also being blamed for the mess the patio is in right now. If I sweat, I get cranky.

Why is it, that anytime I want to accomplish something, the conditions have to be just right? I gotta be in the right mood, or the weather needs to be just right. My list of “right conditions” is never ending. For instance (don’t read this if you embarrass easily) the house is empty, kids and grand kids are all gone, and we’re alone, seems the conditions are just right. You’d think woo hoo! what better time than the present. But wait!, hold that thought! the blinds gotta be down, the door locked and eww somebody needs to brush and floss, the bed is made, the couch is full of laundry, “ding” 5news alert, legs need shavin, and “dalaling” you got a text message.

There is no time like the present for the majority of things that need to be accomplished. We ourselves can also create the right conditions. Why wait for the conditions to be right? Sweat it out, tough it out, take care of business, turn off that cell phone, create that piece of art, enjoy your free time and when the house is empty….get it on!!
