Re-Tired

Here’s a thought I had today (And really, it’s inspired): It’s possible to be exhausted When you are retired. For if, in your retirement, Some interests you’ve acquired, You may be far too busy For the sleep that you’ve required. So if a work cessation is A goal that you’ve desired, Accept the fact that you will be Both “re” and “re”-less tired.

Love the humour here Ilene - so many retired people tell me they are so busy now they can't fit everything in they want to do - quite inspirational:-) Hugs Jan xx
