Wishful Thinking

It's so hot outside that I feel nauseous if I'm out for more than a few minutes. Maybe I'm getting older. Maybe I'm spoiled by air conditioning. Maybe I'm happy to be inside with a book. Or maybe, just maybe, 

IT IS HOT OUTSIDE!!!

Excuse me while I go chill out.

Welcome Home

This wreath on my front door says it all. Welcome to my happy place. As I have gotten older, I have less desire to go on adventures. Heck, traveling to Norfolk is an adventure now and I've done that once in the last five years.  I am content to work in my garden, read a good book, or browse through a magazine. It has taken awhile for me to learn that we all lead lives as we see fit. Every life is unique.  Rejoice in living whatever life makes you happy!

Morning Ritual

My favorite time of day is early morning. I have my coffee, my toast, and the newspaper. The sun comes in from my deck and lights up my room. Life is full of these simple pleasures.  The challenge is to slow down and enjoy them. It's easier for me now... I'm retired!
