Bright, Sunshiny Days

When it’s dark and gloomy in the middle of the day, I am inclined to go back to bed and sleep it away But then when I awaken it’s already dark outside, I should live in the Land of the Midnight Sun, I sigh. Obviously, I much prefer bright, sunshiny days Where I can hike in the woods or relax in my chaise, Clearly, I’d be most happy living in a tropical zone Better still, on a forty-foot yacht I can call my own. written March 7, 2022

A 40'-yacht is considerable work, but you are retired, so plan on many busy days! Aloha!

Ah, but if I could afford a 40-foot yacht, I could afford a crew to take care of it for me, right? Thanks for your read and your thoughtful comment on it, Rico.

Ah, perhaps that is the part of the world I should be living in. I do love sunshine and heat doesn't particularly bother me. In hot weather I can always take off clothes; in cold weather, I can never put on enough clothes to get really warm!
