Some days you just gotta ride

Many years ago when I was in my 20’s I set my intention to retire by the time I was 50, convienced that was old. Well it’s not. Anyway when I hit the big 50 I tried to retire. It didn’t stick. A couple more attempts got me there by the time I was pushing 54. Close enough I’ll take it I said. So let me just say that “retired” is not a dirty word in my vocabulary. It doesn’t mean I’m worthless or I spend my time doing nothing, though I can if I want. It means to me that I can decide each day or even moment to moment exactly what I want to do with my time. Of course I have responsibilities. There are critters to be feed, laundry to do, and on occasion I sweep the floor. But for the most part my time is mine. That sounds great doesn’t it? Well it is, but it has been a big adjustment. I tried to embrace this new found freedom but I was plagued by the ought to’s, got to’s, and should have’s. I felt quilty for not being productive in the same way I was as a working woman, even though I had planned for my retirement and the plan was working. I am delighted to report that now at the tender age of 55 I think I’ve got it! I am excited most everyday about what new adventure is in store for me. I often wonder when I ever had time to work! Sometimes I still pinch myself to see if this is all real. Then I smile and say, “Good job Trish, you are a hard workin woman. You deserve exactly what you have co-created. Do whatever you want! Live your life in joy and gratitude. What better way to honor your Creator, the Divine Mother/Father. So today I saddled up “Ed” and took a ride. It never crossed my mind that there were more improtant things I should be doing. The spontanious pleasures of retirement….how sweet it is………..
So set your intention and have a great Tuesday afternoon!

Hey Whoever might be looking 🙂
Such and interesting experience “putting yourself out there” for all to see. A vunerable, humble and grounded place I find myself. This very busy and fullfilling time in my life. It seems that things are coming forward that have been in the back ground for a really long time and I am having a blast. One of my favorite sayings comes to mind: “Be true to yourself even at the risk of disappointing others”
Welcome!
