I haven’t been goin’ much of anywhere this week. One of the joys of retirement is I haven’t driven my car in a full week. This translates to no doctor appointments, errands, or traffic hassles. My wife drove to “Date Night,” “Movie Night,” and into wine country, so it isn’t as if I’ve been a total recluse. However, this also means that the dogs haven’t gotten to go for a ride in a week-and-a-half, but I’ll more than make up for it on our trip into Vancouver, B.C. next week. I’ve been carefully planning for this adventure – “Knowin’ where I’m Goin’.”

I wrote this poem, based not so much on travel by car, but rather on the journey through life:

Knowin’ Where You’re Goin’

You’ve got this,
It’s clearly showin’
It’s simply knowin’
Where you’re goin’

It doesn’t matter,
Where you’ve been.
Or what you’ve done,
Let’s start again.’

Your life will change,
On this new course.
Self Assurance,
Your best resource.

A different you,
Assurance showin’
It’s simply knowin’
Where you’re goin’

You recognize,
Where you strayed.
So there’s no need,
To be afraid.

The path ahead,
Will open wide.
A better future,
Can’t be denied.

Your heart is soarin’
Strength is growin’
It’s simply knowin’
Where you’re goin’

Follow your instincts,
It’s right this way.
Start seeing sunshine,
In skies once gray.

I’m sure you feel it,
Deep down inside.
Let happiness,
Be your new guide.

There’s no doubt,
Confidence flowin’
It’s simply knowin’
Where you’re goin’
