RETIRED IS BETTER THAN TOO TIRED

Today I realized that there were never enough hours in the day to touch everything that makes someone feel complete and satisfied.  This morning I drove the lawn mower over to my neighbor's house to borrow her lawn roller.  As I made that trek, the fall day swallowed me up. I have never in my whole life done that before; I laughed because I never knew I wanted too either.  After I mowed lawn, I dug iris out of the flower bed and had enough energy to pick up the debris.  Today was different than any other day in my life.

  1. I can't believe we missed the incredible beauty of fall for so many years!! Many influential thinkers have suggested we need to set aside time each day to do "nothing," yet, I, for one, ignored this for too long. We are so lucky to have the opportunity to make up for lost time!
