Tuning in
Tuning out
Not out of interest but for health and heart
The emotional girl and poet needs to care about herself more
When you are very caring and loving
Sometimes you get lost along the way
Useless to loved ones and friends
So learning balance and even keel
Second and thitd best is a not good idea
Focus changed
Quieter and listening
Debbie and Donny Downers stay away please
Just have no time for you and those like you
Your process does not compute
Listen carefully extraordinary people like the poets

It is more than fine to say No.
Nothing behind that necessarily
You will find your way hopefully sooner or later
Make it an adventure no matter what that might be
No excuses just go for it
Do it your way
Enjoy yourself one step or leap at a time

Blessings and Burdens
Rural and Rustic
Urban and Unique
Pathetic and Purposeful
Wealthy and Woe begotten
Wiser not Wise
Always learning and listening
Gray since I was twenty-five
My monthly hairdresser visits deals with it
Luckily forward not backward
Look back at yesterday
Enjoy Today
Hopeful for tomorrow
55 and over communities not a prerequisite
Not for everybody
That includes Arizona and Florida
If you like that great for you
Older not Old
Be Open and not closed but know the difference

Become a (wo)man of peace
help the world, be content,
it isn’t up to governments.

Celebrate your free heart
in grateful virtue and
with modest speech.

Soothe the ever angry,
invite them in and dare trust;
be proud equals not at odds.

With new friends welcome,
double joys by sharing,
save the planet by being happy

You did not fit in
Was not worth trying again
You not only did not fit the mold
You were not welcome
They would never understand.
You never wanted them too
So alone you stood
Alone became loner
Had to let yourself go to find yourself
Are you satisfied?
You broke the mold
Had to let yourself go to know

Peace
Honesty
Respect

Real Understanding
Acceptance
Apologies
Current state of affairs is heartbreaking
Enough is enough
Change for the better is needed and necessary
Remaining positive and calm
No need for downers and ignorance
Moving forward
The past that Private Bone Spurs lives in is yesterday
He lives in his world and the past
The prejudice and conservatism makes me sick
Buckley meant well but opened the door for The Grand Orange
William B was before my time but his impact felt still
Someday, Someday it will get better for all
