Out on a Limb

Bringing back a schedule seems
rather like a step backwards
unless it is setting it by myself.

Squares on a charming wall
calendar set up chosen activities
with flexible variations depending

on the next right thing
to be done even it is laundry
or paying bills - life’s necessities.

Bringing back a scheduled life
in this seasonal change of retirement 
grants me some control in each day.

“Hard is trying to rebuild yourself, piece by piece, with no instruction book, 
and no clues to where all the important bits are supposed to go.”
~ Nick Hornby, A Long Way Down
