...or a backward glance.

...or a backward glance.

A Poem by Huw

It's a truly wonderful feeling
to reach an age where one 
has confidence enough 
to not care what people think
nor say, or threaten to do or not do.
Being so well grounded as to smile
when being called an idiot
to chuckle at being called a fool
to shake dust from the sandals
and move on without a care
or a backward glance.

Indeed you capture that time when our mortgage is paid, the kids have flown the nest and you have enough income not to frety if the car needs fixing or the washing machine breaks down. Nice place to be.
