I'm Older Now
I Have To Pace Myself
I use to be able to go and go all day long
Later I would feel it
My muscles would be sore and I knew when I reached my limit
Now I get tired sooner
I have to start earlier to get the same things done
I stop for little time outs
A snack here and there
A grab an apple or eat some peanuts
Thinking this would keep my energy level at it's peek
Not working yet
Maybe to soon to tell
I decided to do a cleaning and organizing
Being so busy during the week
I put off any extra projects till my days off
Because they require more time
Holidays require more attention
I am busier at work and in my free time
I wouldn't change it for the world
We all need special time to kick back and have fun
That gives me an incentive to get going again
The weather also changes my strategies
We have to leave earlier do to snow or ice
Safety is my top priority
When the day is over
I feel happy what I accomplished
I did what I thought was most imortant
Those things that didn't get done
Will just have to wait
