This post on Facebook caught my eye. In retirement, I have most of these luxuries. A quiet mind escapes me at times. Slow mornings--almost always--with time to do NYT Spelling bee and Connections. Ability to travel--I am happy to be home and to remember all the trips we have made in the past. A good night's sleep--not always but most of the time. People you love and who love you back--every day! Calm and boring days--I am fine with our more limited life. And for now we do have health for which we are very thankful. Meaningful conversations--ordinary conversations of everyday things are also valuable such as "What is on for TV sports tonight? Here's the mail for today--the usual requests for funds. Do you want to go to the library today? We need more purified water for the humidifier."
I like the list Mary. It coincides with one thing has been on my mind quite a bit lately...how much I value meaningful conversations with friends like you. Hugs, Nancy
