What Will I Do Today

Morn started out as many do It was just another day There was nothing really planned But I had some chores to do, I must say But then I thought I would take a drive It does not matter where I go Perhaps I will catch up with someone Or go to see a movie show Maybe I'll walk to the local shops And buy something to make my day Some food to eat, some clothes to wear Or to buy a feast would be okay I'd buy something real nice Something for my kids to share So damn the chores, I'll take a break Might even walk down to the lake

Freedom! Yes I like this one. We all know the feeling of things to do and sometimes we just don't. Options, choices and we are free to chose. Our decision. I head one was and end up somewhere else wondering what I am doing and have to think what am I "supposed" to be doing? I get distracted by living on my way to life.

Thank you Deborah, yes freedom is our decision and we can do what we like which I must admit is wonderful, if I want to go to the shops I can providing I have the money to spend, in fact Peter and I are going for a drive tomorrow, we have a great life, take care.......Vera

Vera: There's an ad on T.V. that suggests "You deserve a break today." Maybe your muse heard it and sent you on an adventure. :o) Thanks for sharing with all of us on the soup. Keep them coming. oldbuck

Old Buck, original name, thank you for this great comment, no my muse hasn't heard this and really no I don't need a break, I have a break every day as being retired makes me lazy, it is great because we can do things in our own time, take care and A HAPPY NEW YEAR ......Vera

'Way to go Vera' - as they say in OZ. So Damn the chores and take a break, hand them over to the kids. Loved your concept and hope there were those beautiful black swans on the lake you visited...Maria

Yes I agree Maria, damn the chores, trouble is you have to do them the next day as they mount up, but it is lovely to take a rest and go for a drive, thank you so much for reading and take care......Vera

Yeah!! I am the luckiest grandma ever!!! :) How often does a 10 year old granddaughter call their grandma up and says, “Grandma want to go shopping? I will treat you out to lunch.” Well, Olive Garden was the restaurants of choice. But of course I didn’t let her pay. She took her money out to pay for the meal and I said no, I will pay hon. “ But grandma I said I was going to pay.”

Yeah! Eve, you are one lucky grandma, my granddaughters live too far away to take me out to lunch, mind you I have one that is just turning 18 and has just got her drivers licence, we will see what she comes up with eh! Make the most of it my friend, take care and give your granddaughter a big hug for me.x

You are dead right there Andrea, I don't really have much time for myself these days, I don't work any more so there is always someone around, the only time I get to myself is when I have to go down to the shops etc. thank you for this delightful little comment, take care.......Vera

You are inspiring me to do the same, Vera, a day out just for myself.. Hugs dear friend ~*

Ah! Eve, do it, just have a lazy day, it is a bit hard to have it to yourself if you have hubby around, I never have a day to myself as I am always with Peter and that is how I like it, whenever we do something, go out etc. it is always the two of us and I get the impression you are both the same, anyway thank you my dear friend and take care...Vera.
