Reggae with Marimba!

This is me……..the reborn ‘me’. Doing things that I always eschewed, and enjoying things that I never thought I would! Legless, do I not seem? But trust me, I’m not.

I always wanted to do ‘something’ – something out of the usual, away from the lair – pillion riding at breakneck speed, capering in a meadow, disinterring hidden treasure, eluding from a maze, infringing any law, feeling the reverberation of my scream in a huge dale……….My eye! Is that I? That’s incredible! Am I that intrepid?

Well, I didn’t actually try any of those! Yet, there isn’t a moment to spend in leisure. Time passes by in removing tons of grime, being the first one to reach the garage when the car is required (being at the driving seat feels celestial!), overseeing the work of so many, being with Robin Cook for hardly a score of minutes, playing Hero-the kickoff of…..not soccer, but joy, cooking charred and battered food, listening to Guilty, Right here waiting, Rainy days & Mondays, Be with you …………….I guess this list doesn’t end.

There isn’t anything special in all this; yet, they stop me from pining for company, getting bored, feeling restless, being in the doldrums and they surely prevent ‘winter rains’. There is a sea change - I’ve stopped looking for happiness and started being happy.
