- First is food on the table for three meals and a house to live in ----- I have food on the table for six meals! and a house to live, an inevitably almost empty nest, with the kids all grown (no complaints though)
- Second is good health ---- except for the usual aches and pains that go with degeneration, all is well
- Third and most important of them all is that you can see that your children are doing well -----can't complain in this department either, my daughter is a VP at 32 and my son, 2 years after college is paving his way towards a great career also in finance. And a loving son- in- law and cute apo to boot.
So many things to look forward to at 60 and retirement:
- sleeping and waking up when I feel like it ( thank you Phillip stein )
- eating only healthy, natural food most of the time
- doing bikram yoga, pilates, and Argentine tango on a regular basis
- bonding with chikitita
- travelling solo or with company at a comfortable pace and savoring every place like a local
- freedom to do whatever and where ever the mood takes me
- be still...relax...hakuna matata ....
- "allow yourself to get bored" ( as Richard Carlson said in his book Don't Sweat the Small stuff)
- reading uninterrupted ( now I am into book 2 of the millennium trilogy and can't put it down)
- finding and doing what I am passionate about ( always a work in progress,life is dynamic). at the moment it's blogging thus I look forward to the creative writing seminar of Tweetums Gonzales
and oh!!!! forgot to mention the 20% discount for senior citizens, hehe
