Going To Work

Struggling to get out of bed, The thought of work fills me with dread. If only I didn't have to go, But if I don't no more cash flow. I walk in the door and head to the clock, Slide my card and start the tick-tock. Another workday has begun, I'm hoping it's a good one. 2016 I wrote this shortly before retiring.

Hi Kim, Work can be dreary and tiring. We have had our business for 32 years, and as it still works for us, we keep it going. It is very tiring however, but i can't see us retiring, only God knows that. Enjoy your retirement my friend. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Oh I do know this song. Since I broke my hip I've been off work and actually I'm enjoying it. Have to go back June 2nd. Actually needed the rest. A good one Kim. God Bless,. JB

I miss the interaction with co-workers (most of them) but I like being retired. Thank you for commenting, Sara!

Retirement feels good, right Kim? We still struggle to get out of bed but for different reasons. LOL
