I was walking for exercise the other day in the little park near the Allegheny River near my home, briskly walking along, head down, bent on getting in a good walk when it suddenly occurred to me WHY am I rushing so
?? I slowed down a bit and looked around and had a truly sobering moment that YES this is why I retired...to ENJOY my free time, not have to worry about being somewhere, and how nice it was to just be outside in the afternoon on a sunny brisk Spring day.
I've only been out of prison since January 4th 2013 so I am still getting used to it.
