Cocoon or Purgatory

  • September 15 – retire from employment
  • September 17 – break leg in several places
  • November 6 – doctor gives OK to put weight on broken leg
  • End of December – projected time to remove “the boot” a plastic walking cast

Retirement plans are largely on hold. Am I in a cocoon, undergoing a metamorphasis from working catapiller to retired butterfly? Am I in purgatory, my entry into retirement heaven delayed due to sins during the working life? Or is this just a form of house arrest?

The choice is mine and the attitude I deploy during the healing months.

Which choice would you make?
