I had a time out. It was good for me. I hope others benefited from it.

Sometimes I can go over the top. I turned 61 a few weeks ago. I can tell you from the bottom of my heart that my concern is for my two precious 20-something kids and potential grand kids. I am not affiliated with any religion.l

I am a PROGRESSIVE! Regardles

I've been on a few time outs myself, it's a good thing now and then to just give it a break, replenish, spend time with the family, etc.

Only 61? You young pup, I think I remember when I was 61.

My first and hopefully my last time-out. I'm still navigating the treacherous territory!
