I will WRITE!

I am going to be a writer.

There...... I've said it....I know we all are "writers", but I really do mean it!
I will call my writings "Pushing Eighty", unless some other little-old-lady has stolen my idea...
Right now I have a space in a resale shop. I scour Goodwills daily for "stuff" I can fill my shelves with and tempt the public to buy and lug home to make their homes pretty.
It's fun....It's something for me to do.... My heart begins pounding the minute I put my car in park outside a Goodwill store....it is EXCITING!!!

But it's a "for now" occupation..... I'm not getting rich...Truth is, I'm kinda going in the hole each month, but how would I know? I am not a business person!
Money from my annuity leaks out until I can't determine what I've spent vs what I'm making each month!
I'm OK, but one purpose of this endeavor was to supplement my income...it's probably a "wash" at best!
My practical self says I should fold....the one on my other shoulder says "Oh,  but you ENJOY it!"  and "What would you do instead?" and "Ya gotta do SOMETHING.....Bingo????"

And my family says the same: You're happy......we're happy! They say that because they love me...they say that because I don't whine all the time and follow them around and talk about my arthritis!!!

So now I'm back to what I was starting to say....
When I  "fold", something must take its place. Not gonna sit around...NOT gonna play bingo or go to lunch every day with friends and spend money at Walmart...not going to Europe (I like it HERE!)
Gotta do something....gonna WRITE!

EVERY morning I'm up at "O-dark-thirty"...and that's when it's quiet....I'm not lonely....I'm THINKING! I'm remembering all kinds of things, experiences, happy times, sad times...

You see, that's what "old people" do: We remember stuff from a looooonnnng time ago...
It's comforting, because we can't remember why we just walked into the kitchen....
At least we can remember SOMETHING!!!
And so, I'll write!!!

End of today's blog...gotta edit...gotta stop being so WORDY!
Nobody will read it if I don't!
