/f / had today
If I had a special day just given to me, what would i do? I have at least two fantasies for such a day. One is I’d meet my son for a three-hour lunch and another is to spend a day cleaning closets! Remember how hard work it was to keep up with toddlers? Keeping up with adult children is also work —of a different kind. Sometimes I lie awake thinking of ways and times when I can get together with my school-teaching son. Recently I sat beside another woman at a wedding reception and we began talking about family — as parents often do. She said that she was looking forward to the next week, because it was the week her son would be at home. ‘‘And when he’s home this week, it’s our week,” she added. She went on to tell how frustrated she had been earlier when Al came home to visit,' but he spent most of his time out with his friends. She and her husband felt a little like hotel service. When the three of them sat down to discuss the matter, they came up with the idea of having one week a year as “our” week. “We’ve done this for two years now and we love it,” she said. “We eat leisurely breakfasts on the patio and we do things together and we have time to catch up with each other.” She added that she and her husband also save this week and make it their priority. Adult children move away from home — at least most of them. Some move a few miles away, some a few hours away, and some across a vast continent. Keeping in touch takes more than telephone calls, I’m learning. One mother talked about how hard she was finding these years of being separated from her young adult children. “We probably interfere too much in our son’s life,” she said, “but it’s so lonesome with just the two of us here at home.” Developmental psychologist Erik Erikson sees the young adult years as time to develop a sense of self separate from childhood. This is critical to success in other tasks of development such as forming intimate relationships with the opposite sex, succeeding in careers, becoming financially independent, or owning their faith and fining its relevance to their lives. So, if I were given a special day, I’d like to visit with my son. I’d like to let him know again that I love him and I’m proud of him. Perhaps I can find away to communicate that today! My other fahtasy for a free day is quite different. As an employed woman, I leave home at 7:45 each morning, walk into my office and look at an agenda for the day which inLetter sent by daycare center A newsletter was recently sent out by the Lakeland Daycare Center, Syracuse, concerning numerous happenings at the center, over recent months. The following was included in the letter: The staff, board members, parents and neighbors gathered on Saturday, Sept. 21, to paint the exterior of the building. A luncheon was provided at noon for all those volunteering. The center received gifts of clothing for children, blankets and doll clothes from Wilma Cox and a local home economics club that also provided volunteers. A memorial gift from the Anna Karesh family was received and Bob Marquart donated a shade tree to be planted in the spring. Recent goals met included the blacktopping of the driveway, installation of an exhaust fan in the kitchen, continuing to operate in the black, full enrollment and retaining a qualified staff. Goals the center and its board are working toward include the building loan retirement with a $3,125 balance, and meeting the needs I of all the children on the waiting I list.

eludes committee meetings, answering letters, writing scripts and recording sessions. At 5 t>.m. I return home. My life was not always like this, but it’s important to say how it is now, or you’d never believe my fantasy: I’d like a day to clean closets! Isn’t that frightening? Why would anyone spend a day cleaning closets? Well, our closets — and the attic — have slowly filled to overflowing through the eight years we have lived in this house. In my former life, those years when I was full-time at honje being mother and chief housekeeper, I had different fantasies. Then I wished for a day to walk into a classroom, a day to read and discuss drama and literature in a college class. Or, once in awhile, a day of committee meetings — with adults — conferring, planning, making “important” decisions. * Sometimes we dismiss these fantasies, simply saying, “The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.” We think other people’s lives look more interesting than our own. At this point in my life, I know that I need to use both mental and physical capacities. I need to work with my hands and with my mind. Cleaning closets wouldn’t offer much satisfaction if that were my daily job. On the other hand, I think I know only one person who can go to committee meetings six days a week! But then he has to mow lawn and plant trees for a change of pace. I’ve enjoyed finding out that I really do like to clean closets — once in awhile. While I faced those daily tasks of housecleaning, all day, without much intellectual stimulation; it was drudgery. But I learned to give myself occasional breaks: an evening class, plenty of books to read, and church and community activities. Life is too short... to grow dull and tired in an unending round of the same work; life is to short to not plan for lunch with an adult child. Life is too short... to miss today!
