I’m closing in on my first year of epic retirement. Twenty one more days will be a year! Hard to believe. These are really, really good questions!

I’ve eased into a rhythm that includes rising with the sun, acknowledging gratitude for the new day, coffee, scanning curated news and walking my dog. Pilates and getting ready for the day follow. Lunch and the remainder of the day are less structured and that’s how we like it. Errands, reading, crafting, cooking, exploring nature and favorite local spots, and planning the next adventurous trip fill my days.

The days that bring me the greatest joy are when I feel connected to someone or something greater than myself: watching my infant granddaughter one day a week so my DIL can return to work part time, helping an ill neighbor, maintaining my garden, seeing marine life while spending time on the water, time spent with family or friends. Overall, I have a sense of wonder for what lies ahead and a sense of pride and accomplishment for the family and life my husband and I have created over our 52 years together, 47 in marriage! Life is definitely good 💝
