A  Walk Down Memory Lane

I had to to meet my son and grandsons very early this morning to exchange a forgotten backpack.  Traffic in our area is awful in the morning so I decided to leave extra early and sit and have breakfast while I waited for them.  It was then I took my short walk down memory lane. As I sat in Starbucks which was close to the hospital, I noticed how everyone seemed so ready for the day.  They seemed energized and ready to take on the world.  I thought of the patients they would see, the families they would talk to, and the procedures they would administer.  They seemed on a mission and ready to go.  Of course, this was just my interpretation of what their day would really be like.  Then I started to remember how I felt as I went to work each morning.  I always looked forward to the day.  There were times I was tired but I always knew something fun would happen along with the many things that may have exhausted or frustrated me. It was a great time for me and I am glad that I had the work experience that I had.

Now, that I am retired my days have slowed down.  I have more time for myself and the work that I do now.  I am in charge of my schedule and can make appointments to suit my needs. It's a different time of life and one that I am glad that I can enjoy. It's not easy for me to change.  It was not easy for me to retire.  But I did it and now I am learning a whole new way of experiencing life.  What is really great is that through my coaching I still continue to teach; something that I love to do.  



I'm glad I got up extra early today. I'm glad I took the time to observe people in their everyday comings and goings.  And I am glad that I took the time to think about all the good things that have happened to me both in the past and in the present. It is so easy to remember the hard times; but so very important to remember what makes life special. I hope that you will take a moment today to take a walk down memory lane and remember something that makes you happy and energized.

Ginny, what a relaxing and contemplative post. I love it. I like how you arrived early and the time you gave yourself. Reminds how much I loved going to a cafe and haven't done so in so long. I need to remedy that.
