joyfully pursuing nothing today

joyfully pursuing nothing today
no plan
no schedule
no worries
no cares

my car sits forlornly
she misses me
I do not care
this retirement gig is delightful

I can sit in one spot for days
and I do
until Dr. G begins talking about blood clots
that go to your heart and kill you
when you sit for too many hours

I walk up the hill one time
hoping that is enough
because I want to sit in a recliner
and watch TV, paint or write poems
joyfully pursuing nothing today
