Somehow, I lost my comment. Here's a new one: I am lucky. I found another post by an old woman. I am very old myself, but you are a successful writer, and I am a late beginner. It's perfectly OK. I loved your small poem. And you are so right; we waste our lives on small, unnecessary things. I wish you a healthy, productive New Year!

There's always a good reason, Mary. Thankfully, we don't let them get in the way too often. :-)

The hardest part for me is sitting in the chair!

Yes, Linda! A writer said what we need is “bum glue”! 😂

Internal dialogue, you say? I confess there are days I need a chaos-sorter : - ) Hope you're warm and well. HNY!

Just finished October Fire. Great read. I recommend it. Proud you're my cousin. Remembering that in 1971 you gave me a battered copy of The Godfather. You recommended it. The book was better than the movie that followed. Thank you and have an excellent 2025.
