Savoring it all.

The most active and gratifying and fulfilling years of my life. Have come. Since I retired. Sixteen years ago. I write more. Exercise more. Travel more. Think more. Yes, it’s amazing. Thank gawd. I’ve lived long enough to retire. So that I can truly live. I’m lucky. Blessed. Because I’ve lasted this long. It’s not that I wasn’t active, gratified and fulfilled before retiring. I was. But life keeps getting better and better and better. Because I keep becoming more and more and more alive. More aware of the now. Today. The moment. Savoring. Savoring. Savoring it all. –Jim Broede
