*The Hurrier I Go, the Behinder I Get*

I remember my mother had a plaque with that saying on it. Although she explained the meaning to me, I never really understood it. Now I do.

The older I get the slower I operate. Maybe it’s somewhat of a protective mechanism.

So much going on this month. First with getting all the taxes done. When you itemize there is usually lots of paper work to be had. And this year I made a mistake and that took time to fix.

Then the *Klutz* and *If It Can Happen It Will*, in me decided to show it’s ugly head. My husband got the flu and shortly thereafter I was blessed to get it also. Then a couple of weeks ago I somehow tore a muscle in my leg, causing pain and aggravation. I eventually realized the pain and appearance of the leg needed a medical opinion, which my neighbor who is an EMT provided. I had a blood clot. Opps. The doctor worked me in and told me it wasn’t a serious thing, but I had to have a couple of tests, results not back as of yet, but my apprehension was relieved and I have tried to go on with things as normally as I can.

I also want to say to my friend Vicki, her father died a few days ago, that I am very sorry for you loss and I love you.

  2. So good to see you again Ellen. I missed you. Blood clot was not dangerous and tests were good. So I am very thankful.

  3. I just tried to find the “Hurrier I go the behinder I get” saying, knew my version was close and came upon yours, and one thing led to another, of course started reading your messages. Did you morph into my life, body and soul? Without reading too too much at this time we seem to be very parallel in our life experiences. Hope you are still providing your thoughts of wisdom cuz lots of times I really need some. If you do, I wouldn’t mind a message back.
    Thanks very much and take care.
