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.
