It is so easy to get distracted, to be drawn into the 101 crisis in the world, to get sucked back into the day to day of my former office. One of the attorneys left a few days after I retired, and they are short handed and struggling, and no I am not the rescue ship.
It would be easy to settle in front of the television, and not leave the house, or my bed for that matter. But that is not what I want to do with the last 10-20 years of my life. So I limit the time it is on, I find the off switch and get off my duff.
It would be easy to get sucked into the petty, but I choose to stay on the path I have chosen. A path that takes me places known, and to explore new places I never knew existed, or have never found.
How am I feeling? I am feeling good. I am getting done what I want to do. I am getting out of the house, I am staying busy, I am taking random afternoon naps that I had fought back against for 50 years.
Are you staying on the path you wish to be on?
Yes...so far so good! And the 101 crisis you mention is one reason I gave up watching the news daily. To distraction, and negative...and take the blood pressure up. Once or twice a week is good for me now.
ReplyDeleteYou are not alone in limiting new intake.
DeleteYes, fairly steady as I go. I am pleased you are so far happy with your retirement.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I miss are the paychecks.
DeleteI still love straying from the path, but I always hope whatever path I take will continue to lead forward in some meandering way.
ReplyDeleteAnd there are do many wonderful paths where you live.
DeleteSo far so good! Sounds like retirement agrees with you.
ReplyDeleteDoing it my way, most of the time
DeleteI'm feeling lazier then I want to be and hope to get motivated soon as I feel I am wasting time. I wish I had your energy!
ReplyDeleteOne step at a time
DeleteI'm trying to! Sometimes life gets in the way though.
ReplyDeleteSometimes the unexpected turns are good, sometimes not.
DeleteNot really but I DID try puff pastry cinnamon rolls a little while ago. Apparently the puff pastry had been around too long so they came out as "baby" cinnamon rolls but SWMBO and I agreed they were delicious.
ReplyDeleteI have a roll of puff pastry in the refrigerator - I should do something with it.
DeleteYou are a very fortunate fellow.
