This way, you can avoid early retirement and the reduction in benefit early commencement would bring with it.<br /><br />Sorry, I can be no help on poetry. The last time I read Emily Dickinson was in high school, pre-1973.Crankyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995365444853477833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8754773372316501693.post-57273202721217559732010-01-25T20:41:53.686-08:002010-01-25T20:41:53.686-08:00Excellent quotes.

Could themself have peeped —<br />And seen my Brain — go round —<br />They might as wise have lodged a Bird<br />For Treason — in the Pound —<br /><br />Himself has but to will<br />And easy as a Star<br />Abolish his Captivity —<br />And laugh — No more have I —Justinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10745946652949594472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8754773372316501693.post-63190482371729315472010-01-24T10:47:04.833-08:002010-01-24T10:47:04.833-08:00"Heaven is so far of the Mind

Thoreau<br /><br />I telecommuted 2 years, I think, they would have kept be on doing subpar work forever, but I feel dead asleep mid conversation with a customer one day, and I knew it was over. Getting out of bed, eating, thinking, all too much. My body said, "Enough." But I had my partner's income, her health ins., my 20yrs of savings when others took trips or bought cars/houses/clothes. And as my mom always told me: "You have a vivid imagination."<br /><br />Here is MY quote: Money can buy you many objects, a roof over your head, food for your hunger. Love can fill your soul with joy. Intelligence can unlock many doors. But a good imagination can bring you all these desires and take you wherever you want to go.Diane J Standifordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862850657925658079noreply@blogger.com
