Chill, man

Daily writing prompt
What is one thing you would change about yourself?

I need to be able to adjust to circumstances better than I sometimes do. I’m a creature of habit and don’t always respond well to changes in routine or what I consider to be impingements on how I prefer the day to unfold. In my mind, I’m often playing the retirement card, using it as an excuse, i.e. my days of being on call are over.

I’m not a fan of having my day planned for me. I suppose a certain selfishness is in play, and flexibility is sometimes in short supply, something I need to work at. I need to find a way to be more at peace with going with the flow, and at this point in my life this sometimes feels like a bit of a Titanic turn– feasible, but slow in developing.
