You Dont Say

I’ve had enough of inspirational quotes, Such as; “Believe in yourself,” And, ”Go get it!” And ” Today is the first day…” Well you know the rest I’m sure. Truth is we’re all trapped by kids, spouses, Friends, “procedure.” “Commitments” Roughly twenty years I’d say, the sentence Meted out; but money, that thing, it’s for Life. If you’ve got it, good, but it can be lost, or Denuded, like berries after frost. If you’ve Not, you have to make it; (I never had the balls to take it) So I eat my porridge and sip my tea, trying to Be still, on this sloping scree. And if you ask me “What’s for free?” I’d say; Book and beach and just being “me”.

I thought initially it was kind of cynical...but you are right. Life is really simple, if one does not stress himself out to get it in a way that's sinful! Admire your wit and philosophy. 7 for me! Kim
