Just Thinkin About This Past Year

Just thinkin about this past year has taught me a few things, new rules to live by. In life we put off doing until tomorrow-next week-next year, and why is this? Maybe we are busy-feel we do not have the time-need more money, the list goes on and on. I will wait no more, I am doing. I saw first hand how short time is, time for me and for others. I will wait no more, it needs to be done today. Tomorrow will not come for many, I want my life more complete. New rules to live by, today is my day so enjoy it.

I think you have the right idea Paula. Each day is the most important day of our lives. When we learn to make it count, we are much more content, hope you had a beautiful xmas. Be well, keep writing and sharing dear friend.

I love how you ended your poem. I have much to do getting old, sick and do my daily chores. There are things I need but I suppose I'm becoming a lazy old dog. ~~

Thank You, for writing and for your kind words. Getting older is not all they make it out to be. My said," youth is wasted on the young." He was so right. It is OK to be a lazy old dog. Today, have joy/blessings....................
