Woody Pond Rookery 05/01/2019 — Harris Neck National Wildlife Refuge, Savanna, Georgia
This is the best time of my life.
I can meet the day with equanimity
and do what needs to be done there
without remorse or sorrow,
fear or anger about the reality
of the dangers we all face with Trump and Company
at the helm.

This is what we get with stupidity, fear and greed
voting like they know what they are doing.
So we do the best we can to make things as good
as they can be and let that be that.
Without letting it get us down
and ruin what's left of our life.

Find what we can enjoy,
anyway, nevertheless, even so,
and enjoy all that can be enjoyed
about the future that remains.

I enjoy chocolate shakes and brownies.
Looking out the window
and having lunch with our daughters,
grandchildren,
and great grandchildren
for as long as that is an option.

Make your own list
and live the life that is left to live!

I'm retired, and still finding my way--but now, I don't have to pretend that I know what I'm doing. I retired after 40.5 years as a minister in the Presbyterian Church USA, serving churches in Louisiana, Mississippi and North Carolina. I graduated from Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary, in Austin, Texas, and Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, Louisiana. My wife, Judy, and I have three daughters, five granddaughters, one great granddaughter, and a great grandson on the way, within about ten minutes from where we live--and are enjoying our retirement as much as we have ever enjoyed anything.
