Taking a Journey

Following nasal surgery last week and feeling entirely under the weather, this is how I entertained myself.

 

Taking a Journey
 
I’m going to take a long journey
To wonderful places I’ve never been
I’m going to meet interesting people
And try to make at least one friend.
 
I’m going to immerse myself in pleasure
Enjoy my experience with its highs and lows
Will I fall in love with some handsome bloke?
Anything is possible—who knows?
 
I’m going to join in available activities
Jogging, swimming, walking and dining
Or perhaps I’ll go to parties and balls
Where folks are dancing, drinking and opining.
 
I might even get involved in some conflicts
Take sides with those I admire
I might find some folks intolerable
Their attitudes and behaviors too dire.
 
The suspense of each and every minute
Will keep my interest keen and high
Until I finish my journey—from my recliner
And close my book with a satisfied sigh.

Oh, poor baby! I am sorry to hear you had surgery and then got the flu afterwards! NOT good! I hope you feel better soon; you're in my prayers/thoughts today! Well done, Jeanette!

(((Gentle Hugs))), much love, and prayers for a speedy recovery~

As always, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :(

Journeys on recliners with a good book are often quite therapeutic, and I hope you feel better soon.

Ouch. Nasal surgery and then the flu on top of it: you definately need that journey. May I join you? Sounds much better a place than where we are ... hope you feel better, soon. Well done.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
