GRATITUDE - July 25, 2012

I AM GRATEFUL FOR STOPPING TO ENJOY.



"Plenty of people miss their share of happiness, not because they
never found it, but because they didn't stop to enjoy it."

     -- William Feather


Found a picture on Google images to use- and ironically it came from a post from someone else posting about the benefits of retirement.  How cool.  Here is a post comment from" Joe's Retirement Blog."  I am exceedingly grateful for the good fortune to find Joe's blog.




Joe's Retirement Blog: Retirement

For example, these flowers were on a highway median, so I parked the car and got out and wandered around. "CAUTION! - old man in hat beside roadway behaving unpredictably."

From Joe:


One of the best things about retirement is that I am rarely in a rush to get somewhere - I can usually take the time to randomly stop and observe or make note of something beautiful about our world - I like that. After a lifetime of having to "be somewhere," it is wonderfully freeing to not have to be "scheduled" all the time anymore. 

So people have been asking me, "how do you like being retired?"  The answer in a few words is: "I like it!"  It creates a freeing and calming feeling. I can slow down and reawaken the childish wonder I seem to have lost somewhere along the road of growing up.  (Either that or my senility is kicking in).


Well said.
