In less than a year I shall be an octogenarian, and I am
conscious of how valuable time is. For every second that passes, my life that
is left is less by the same. Today 15 minutes of 1,440 I set aside for
improving ‘Minnow’. Why? Because she has become a part of my life, and I think
she is worth it! For my own sanity, satisfaction and pleasure I think those 15
minutes spent on her were worth it for me.
The exercise was simple: To varnish over the first coat of
varnish I applied to ‘Minnow’s’ stove unit yesterday.
Tomorrow (DV)* I’ll
repeat the varnishing exercise – that’s assuming the garage in which ‘Minnow’
resides, remains standing, because widespread damaged is expected overnight and
into the morning, on account of a fierce storm now battering the southwest of
England which is heading towards Essex where I live. Forecasters predict that the
worst of it will be fast-moving, and by early morning it will have moved to the
southern part of the North Sea.
In this transient world nothing can be taken for granted.
When I say ‘transient’, I mean that everything is constantly changing; even the
planet itself. Nothing lasts for ever. All things are finite, including my
body! I can’t say the same thing about my soul which came into existence the
moment I was conceived, although it was foreordained before the world was made.
(Psalm 139:14-16)
