A Hundred Days of Retirement

(April 10th is the 100th day of the year.)

Plans to work miracles
with at least twenty-two hours a day
subject to my control, grand plans.
A Kindle book published in February
a major research book out this year.
A hundred days down, no progress
on either. Plenty of time to play games,
take naps, watch Jeopardy ten times
each week...but what needs done,
nothing comes of them. I run behind
on every commitment. I promise
to write gratitudes daily, fall off
after two. Who's in charge here?
I act as if I am, but I'm not. When I truly
turn my will and my life over to
my Higher Power, things get done.
Procrastination is chronic low-intensity fear.
I ought to know that. I live there.
