You Know How To Go It Alone

My bumper crop of zinnias back in October 2009.

Those Eternally Linked Lives 29  September 17, 2017

When you have an inner guide, be
thankful. You know how to go it
alone. You listen to those who
care and worry about you, but
ultimately it’s up to you as you
enter that stage of your life when
more losses will come your way.
For eighty you’re not doing too
badly. As it gets harder, you find
the grit you need to hold your own.
“A day at a time” is always a good
approach. Keep listening to your
deep wisdom. It has never let you
down. Your own individual path
is well-marked now, but such paths
always throw up something new.
Not everyone is up for the wholly
new, but you are. Keep yourself
fit and happy. Enjoy the orange 
zinnia that survived the dog’s vole
digging and being bent down by
the wind only to rise and flourish

anyway. Take a leaf out of that book.
