You are always very kind. Obviously, you are a smiler. I am too. Life is a challenge, but it is best served by a positive, happy attitude. Thanks for your nice review.

Thanks for your nice review. I didn't win place or show, but I sure had a good time writing it, and I got some great reviews. Thanks for yours!
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem about happiness when we retire happiness becomes our new priority. There's no need to rush to the next meeting just be yourself.

This is a truthful thought entry for the Happy Poems writing prompt. I hope it does well in the contest. Happiness is a great gift to give away. Finding happiness in retirement is a gift to yourself.

Happiness in retirement can be elusive. So, we chase it in an RV. This week, Utah. I will admit that sometimes still I miss the battles, but I use my golf clubs as a support group and it passes. Thanks for reading my offering and writing.

It sure sounds like you've got it sorted. And you can write poetry too! That's rather clever, with a golf club in one hand, a beer in the other, and a dog on your lap (or is it the wife?).

Truth is, the wife stop sitting on my lap after the third child. Anyway, she was so much younger when I married her. The dogs trade me love for food. Thanks for reading my offering and writing to me.

Thanks for your happy review! Indeed, being able to define what makes one happy saves a bunch of time and money in an endless search.
Comment from lancellot
I like the bit of humor in this. A smile on the face of the reader is always a good idea for a writer to achieve. You make me want to retire and live the simple life of going where I want and living how I wan. Oh, to leave it all behind. What a wonder way to live. And the wife too.
Well done.

...but, there is a downside. Where once the years of work and family duties seemed to drag on, now my life's clock is spinning like a ceiling fan. Where do the years go? And my wife! She was so much younger when I married her! Thanks for reading and reviewing my offering. To make a reader smile is indeed a win.

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed my offering. Win or lose the prompt, we are in Yellowstone in the chill and beauty - life is good! I recommend retirement - the sooner the better!
Comment from Mimi Linny
Nothing better to describe happiness than the feeling you have when you can finally sit back, relax and enjoy your own special pleasures! You have some nice rhyming sequences and I enjoyed how you describe your younger days gone by and how you have replicated within your poem what makes you happy, "Dogs, golf, RV with fridge outside..." My favorite, though, is your "Full Disclosure" verse - perfect conclusion to your very "Happy Poem!" Well done!

So glad you read my poem and wrote to me. Glad you liked it! Full disclosure: I wrote that last verse for the ladies - especially the mean one I've been married to for 43 years! Thanks!

Ha! Ha! Adorable!
Comment from Eternal Muse
I love this happy poem. You described your trials and tribulations and your finding happiness in retirement with "Dogs, golf, RV with fridge outside". It doesn't matter what you do - as long as you are happy doing it. Often we realize it with advanced years. Excellent rhyming, meter, cadence; artistic presentation and that artwork (is it you in the picture?)
Enjoy your happy life and God bless you.

Guilty as charged. That's me with Sissie and Tucker. We are currently on a 7 week odyssey out West, this week in Yellowstone, then Utah, Grand Canyon and home to Texas in time to vote. So glad you liked my poem. Thanks.
