Earned retirement... Enjoy it
THE EARNED GIFT Oh the awesome unobstructed hours, mine, all mine, to fill with flowers. Flowing stress-free days, ablaze with non-tension faces, exciting places... Time to myself, to talk with neighbor, or, myriad choices, maybe stranger. Living luxury to cancel schedules at whim, for private selfish reasons. Released from rigid time-bound days, I change my stodgy ways for serendipity! I'm legally and officially free-- retired. So why this guilty feeling shroud? -- Delma Luben

One should never feel guilty for quality time. One adventure ends to open the way for a new one, well said...

Be always safe,
Karen
