(My first selfie of 2015!)
Before
anyone thinks I am being negative I have written many blogs about how
glad I am to be old and I am plus add retired to the mix and it is
great! One of the many good things about it is if I have something
planned and it doesn’t work out I can always do it tomorrow plus I don’t
worry about tomorrow.

For an example I had a doctor’s
appointment on Tuesday and I depend on medical transportation from my
HMO. The appointment was for 2 PM and by 1:50 the driver hadn’t shown up
so I knew I wouldn‘t make it on time. . I called the Doc and I had to
reschedule and now it is for next Tuesday. Most people--especially quite
a few rigid, plan every second of the day, etc., posters here--would
have been screaming and yelling or, at least, be upset that their day
would be ruined--me? I said “So what?” and got on with my day.

The
world doesn’t come to an end if I don’t do something. Being old and
retired and, oh yes, another blessing, living alone I don’t have to do
anything except what I want to do.

Another example was a day last
week. I have no explanation for why it happened but I went to sleep at 1
AM, got up at Noon, read the paper, did some writing, posted a blog,
took a nap from 3-5 PM---and I am not a napper!--ate, watched some TV
while I went to web sites, took another nap from 10PM to Midnight, got
up, did some reading and writing and then went to sleep my normal time
around 2 AM.

At first I was a little concerned that something
might be wrong but then I decided my body was just telling me it wanted
to rest and I had the time to do it. After that day I was back to my
daily routine of living.

Some people would look at this as a
wasted day but not me. I look at it as a day of rest making up for all
the days I didn’t rest when I was young doing  all sorts of crazy
things!
