Put away my purse too--Freedom from baggage, a credit card in my pocket.
We began chasing our rainbows. It wasn't always so. There were times I couldn't even afford a pair of pantyhose.
I Took Off My Wristwatch
I haven't clocked in on a job
Since June of 2012 when
I resigned-
Choosing my own
Deliberate early retirement
Some may wonder
What have I done
With my time?
The path I chose
Had few destinations
Just a journey
With a compass
Pointing out West
My life was
no longer regulated
In those former corridors--
And I felt the FREEDOM
Like I never had before.
