THE SUMMER SO FAR......



I say I've retired and so often I get the congratulations
from friends that I must correct with the proviso that "Yes,
but it's really a career change." And, let me tell you, one
that's scaring me to death, if I think too long on it. 
So, I've got a new mantra that I keep to the fore of all thought:
There are two days you should never worry about;
yesterday and tomorrow. Of course that's if you are doing
the right thing today. So, I am trying really hard to stick to the
plan for every today. This is a major effort against nature as
I am very much inclined to let every today slip through my
fingers in fruitless activities (one could argue, such as this one.)

To my credit, yesterday and today I did keep to the plan and prayerfully
put my feet on the path to righteous accomplishment. Believe me,
the prayer was fervent and with strong outcries, if internal,
because even when fully dressed I want nothing more than
to turn back to my bed and sleep.

Ahhh, that narcotic of old age, sleep.
