Poem -
A Dilemma
Some days are diamonds
Some days are pure do-do
Today was a totally do-do day
I'm sure everyone has them occasionally
But mine are a lot more frequent than they once were
Is it my age that makes the difference
Or is it my retirement
Throughout my life, I have always been
A very, very active person
So to all of a sudden be without a goal
I'm lost in a sea of nothingness
The only activity my brain gets
Is poetry and that's not enough to sustain me
I need a challenge every day
I have one of those brains that constantly
Needs nourishing, to be challenged or it will die
I wish it weren't true
And I could just lie back in my easy chair
And watch the world go by
BUT... that's just not me!

Hello Happy Jack...
A lot of People have problems with Retirement and don't know what to do...
They would probably put out a missing persons on me a lot...
Because, I will still be doing whatever I can get into...

This was a hoot! No, I haven't given up!!!! Just a phase I'm going through strongly affected by the fact I'm no longer able to drive because of possibly having a seizure while driving! The possibility will be with me forever even with medication! So the possibility, even though remote, the chance cannot be ignored! Bummer!!!!!!!! Love hearing from you sweet birdie!!! Happy Jack XOXOX Hmmm water ballet??? LOL
Sometimes I feel like my life is a permanent do-do day and I'm no where close to retirement yet please tell me double do-do days isn't what I have to look forward too!!???
No no no!!! It's all about what's upstairs! Think positive and things will be brighter... think negative and things will be doom and gloom! It's all about attitude... you are in control!!! As I told Sparrowsong, "just a phase I'm going through strongly affected by the fact I'm no longer able to drive because of possibly having another seizure!" Bummer! So the bottom line is... wake up with the birdies and greet each day with a great big smile... it's amazing how much it affects your mood! Trust me, I've always been an upbeat dude and this is just a mountain I WILL climb over!!! Love and warm hugs, Happy Jack XOX ???????
??? I was teasing as well... You have great energy and spirit thanks for the smiles? ???
So happy to hear that!!! When retirement arrives "forty" years from now for you, obviously, you'll remember my little dissertation and forever be grateful!!! Love, Happy Jack XOXOX ?????????????????????
