A SIGN OF THE TIMES

My children always said
that when they were growing up
that I could never drive home
and sneak up on them.

The sound of
The Beach Boys
always gave me away.

I so enjoyed
driving my sexy Miata
with the top down,
blasting beach music.

And today,
I'm listening to it again -
with the voice of Jillian Michaels
interrupting occasionally -
"you're getting stronger'

Somehow it all seems to go together -
Del Mar, Ventura County Line,
Down Doheny Way -
well, at least that was where
I was driving my
cute little Miata.

These days
find me driving a farm truck
and walking on a tread mill
to my beloved Beach Boys -
and I wouldn't trade my farm
for all of the beaches in California.

You can say that
I'm happy here
with my life
and
that's the best place to be.

Now I just want to have
a bit less of my happy, healthy self.

Blessings to all who visit here,
Lynn
