Today, a Change

Today, I’m going to change things up a bit.

My friends, how many times have we told

ourselves that we promise to make some-

thing different about today?

Life can easily become boring and tedious

if we’re not paying attention. How many

opportunities have we missed by simply

not having our senses tuned to the possibi-

lities which surround us?

At my age and given my retirement posi-

tion, routine keeps me from wandering off

into worlds I am no longer prepared or des-

irous of navigating. We no longer have the

Quixotic need to change the world.

I’m not against somethings new, mind you,

but I refuse to get entangled in scenes from

a movie which require a more youthful and

vigorous leading man. For today anyway, I’m

going to concentrate fully on what I must say.

Perhaps tomorrow then, should I still be ac-

tively engaged and Earth continues its course

around the sun, I won’t feel ashamed for hav-

ing said something totally nonsensical and in-

appropriately out of place. Let the folly begin!
