The Ultimate Optimist

Well, I certainly didn't see that one coming.
It just kind of crept up on me
over the last few weeks and now,
I have to admit, I have become
 a
"procrastinator."

I, who has always believed it best to tackle
a task head on and get it done.
Hubby,
on the other hand is wired differently,
 and will often spend more time planning his approach to doing a job
 than the actual task itself.
It's been the source of frustration over the years.
I once bought him a Nike sweatshirt
when their trademark motto was
"JUST DO IT"
but it didn't help.

I am inflicted with a lackadaisical attitude
and it's feeling real good!
Perhaps my fast approaching retirement date
and the prospect of lots of free time in the near future
is responsible, but more and more I find myself  putting off things
I could be doing for another day.

That explains why I haven't walked in over a week
...but I will get to it!

An elderly lady on CBC yesterday said her husband
always claimed that,
"procrastination is the purest form of optimism"
...because procrastinators have an
absolute certainty
that there will indeed be
 a tomorrow
...and that works for me!
