The simple pleasures of life....

One of the good things about getting older for me is the ability to enjoy where I am and be in the moment of what is going on around me.....
I just spent an hour + sitting on the porch, watching the sun go down over the lake across the road. Martha the cat curled up next to me. In the distance, I can hear yotes singing, geese over near the lake and just taking in the serenity of the moment..
It was a good end to the day..... I hope your day ended well too....

Martha? I thought she was in the arctic mixing cocktails with polar ice caps entertaining polar bears. 😏

I think you just described what every person wishes for, in their retirement years. God Bless you William, you earned it!!!.
Your a lucky man, so few really get to live their dream.
I like this thread.
Last night, as it was getting dark, my wife and I sat on the back deck talking. For almost 2 hours. About everything and nothing at all.
Sometimes all it takes to experience perfection is to sit down and do nothing. Worry goes away. Tension disappears. You get a feeling of "ahhhhh" and the chaos of the world doesn't exist.

Ken, it's some of the people around us that make life complicated. Thankfully, there are good people also.
Great read William81. Personally, I'm still waiting for that golden years thing to kick in.
Good for you
Found that happy spot and enjoying life
Me
I am some where lost between missing the old days my youth and all the joy and excitement it provided
I find my self reminiscing a lot more last few years maybe because all my old buddies and my family I use to share time with have passed on
So your all my captive audience Sorry about your luck but also thanks for putting up with me
I do miss being able to do what ever I wanted with out my body tossing in the towel and And taking days to recover if I can even do it To Stat with
But being retired I also enjoy not having to run my life by a clock and any schedule or answer to any one well Just my wife but we work it out if needed.
i enjoy and complate the amazing world we live in looking into the night sky or the face of young kids and what waits on them to experience .
knowing i have millions of questions that will go unanswered, so I try not to focus on what I have no control over and just smell the flowers I guess you could say
Amazing how time seems to speed up the older we get as kids we think we have forever and invincible
but mother nature reels us in and reminds us we only have a brief time to enjoy our life in the grand scale of things
So don't sweat what we can't control or spent time worrying
just enjoy what we can Every day we can
