Seventy Plus

Seventy Plus Have been retired for 7 years The best parts: no work hassles more time to write poetry more time to play music more time to work on my project list (of course, AFTER the honey do list) more time to volunteer more time for naps I can sit around in sweats and tee shirt (in summer shorts and tee shirt) But The worst parts: insomnia not as much energy in bed by 9PM (I am a party pooper) need hearing aids my joints ache have trouble remembering names takes me longer to do my projects (good excuse for not completing honey do list) These are the best of times and the worst of times If I can remember what the past times were like!
