Frustration leads to serious thought I sit before my computer trying to organize my thoughts after sever- al very busy days. Items on the "I should do" list are floating in and out of my brain system. It seems as though I will have to loudly shout, "Get out, and get out" I don't have time for every request. It is not often that I long for soli- tude, time to enjoy the chirping birds outside on the deck, read a good book without interruptions and snack on any or all of my favorite foods despite their caloric value. Capturing these longed for and leisurely experiences is not probable today, perhaps tomorrow will present the quiet calm I am longing to experience. As I sit here I begin to remember a few issues that have troubled me over the years as well as a few that encouraged my hope. I once partic- ipated in an activity where we were asked to write down as many enjoy- able experiences as possible. We had three minutes to do this. Since thinking and writing is supposed to be my game, I soon had both sides of the paper filled. After the list was made, the pre- senter asked us to rate the experi- ences as to cost and the period of time since we had done any of them. Was I surprised to find that out of the thirty experiences I listed; only two of them cost more than $10. Even more surprising was that most of them were like that first morning cup of coffee in the fresh air. They were simple everyday occurrences that enriched my life. There were only two items that I had not done in over two years. I am not totally sure what the exercise said to me. I would like to think that it validated my fairly satisfying existence. Some might analyze the results and determine that I need to broaden my horizons. As for my own interpretation of the data, I conclude that I am basi- cally a simple person with simple tastes, who will go on enjoying…watching Channel 9, planting flowers, walking with my good friend, reveling in my hus- band's "honey do" projects, count- ing my great grandchildren, writing various tidbits and yes having my first morning cup of coffee outside in the fresh early morning breezes. In these days of living in what admonish another; "be careful of living "high on the hog." What ever we do, like it or not it affects us and others. It has been that way since the beginning of time, the difference is that we have created technology which brings it all to our doorstep. Our frustrations with the Carolyn Barber use or over use of our time or money can send us into a panic or into a calmer, clearer way to deal with both. As I type this copy I remember a very special author, Lori Giovannoni I met at a long ago training. She wrote the book, "Suc- we have called, "Recession" there are many who are revisiting days gone by when hard times required creating our own simple and non- costly activities. cess Redefined." She addressed many areas of need for women, one was a gentle admonition for women to remember to allow themselves to have free time in which they can relax and be renewed. Such an act allows clear time to do nothing…give your body and mind a chance to shift… "In the space you allow for "nothing," many things become possible." Lori Gio- vannoni These reminisces may be the boost that will help us get through this time of adjusting our budgets, tightening our belts and acknowledging that simple activities in our lives can be as rewarding as high cost ventures. As the mountain people used to Thanks Lori for the words reminding me that frustration does not have to encompass us forever. Carolyn Barber has been writing her column in the Daily News since 1992. It appears on Saturdays. She can be contacted by e-mail at hur- car@yahoo.com.
