You have worked hard all your life now it is time to retire
Go out and explore new things, surround yourself with what you desire
You are now entering a new phase of your life where you have more control over time and what you want to do with it
So many new opportunities will present itself, you just have to see which ones will fit
The most important thing you must do for yourself is to keep yourself mentally and physically alive
As you get older health problems are lining up to visit you, so get out there and exercise, for this you must strive
The old saying goes when I retire I am going to do this
You need to make a plan of things you want to do,write them down or lots of opportunities you might miss
First and foremost do whatever makes you happy, plan a trip to an exotic place
Be active but also find time to relax you are not in some kind of race
Life is like a novel you are nearing the final chapter
Make it joyful and fun, spends more time with family and friends, but above all enjoy yourself and fill your world with lots of love and laughter

When gone goes
Positive reinforcement
All around you,
You must provide your own.
You are the prayer.
You are the God.

The garrulous, Greek grape gatherers,
Joined joyously with jocund japes,
The olive pickers and Ostrich plucker’s,
Celebrating the seasons success in song.
The querulous quiver of musical quavers,
From a quorum of quality wine quaffer’s
Reverberated robustly round the room,
And resonated rhythmically from the roofs rafters.
An altercation arose amongst some aggressive Athenians,
Averting an armed argument was avoided adroitly,
By brave, bold buskers, brusquely berating their bombast,
And loudly and laudably lamenting such Loutish leanings.
Personally I drank my Retsina and went back to my Hotel,

Never spill secrets.
Always raise the bar.
Sometimes go in hiding.
Never steal sundries.
Always look to win.
Sometimes cry.
Never arrive late.
Always appear content.
Sometimes freak out.
Never sound alarms.
Always handle it yourself.
Sometimes find windows.
Never kiss your neighbor.
Always leave a note.
Sometimes pour your heart out.
Never stop too soon.
Always reassess.
Sometimes rip it to shreds.
Never leave it for another.
Always do your best.
Sometimes is never enough.

“You guys are full of exercise” – nonsense
even after she has finished
scolding Kyle for laying down his head
“Not bored, just sleepy”
I don’t blame him,
Calculus sucks
and now CRAZY Mrs. Howe walks in,
crowing, breathless, sharing new information
buying me time to record the events
but alas! even now we check homework.
