Me do less? Right, that’s a laugh©️

What could you do less of?

It’s my feeling that when someone starts putting themselves out there to do right by themselves, their family, friends, and others at an early age it’s doubtful that they’re ever going to want to do less in life.

Having started a paper route at the age of nine, then worked in an office for a friend of the family from eighth grade through high school, while having babysat for various families in the community, then never stopped working or volunteering continuing now into my 60s. This is not the framework for someone who would consider doing less.

Every time I stop one thing my mind tells me I have to do something else. When I was told that it would be best for me not to work a regular job because of various health issues I was determined to still be a viable member of the community. I started volunteering and have been doing such for more than 20 years and I don’t see myself stopping I just can’t stop wanting to feel a part of something. There is such a need to fill holes as a person and sitting home doing nothing just isn’t who I am.

I keep my mind working, creating whatever it is for the visions and hopes that I have all that I have to strive for. I listen to my heart. It tells me what I need to do. If at sometime my heart tells me it’s time to do less I promise to listen to what my heart tells me, but for now, doing less isn’t on my agenda.
