So, I know this is an Early Retirement board, and we all have our eyes on the prize, but for those of us young dreamers who have years, if not decades to go. we should remember to enjoy the here and now. You should never wish away today, you never know how many tomorrows you have. This is my way of starting a thread that is mostly bragging.
So I was sent out to handle a crisis at our New York facility, locked it down, impressed the heck out of the customer and management, and made it look effortless. Tonight over some Glenlivet on the rocks, and a Filet Mignon with a nice Pinot Nior I engaged in the first round of polite negotiations with the senior something or other about a new position being created for me. I was engaging but noncomittal, interested in where this might lead in the months to come, but mostly savoring another job well done.
So I want to hear from my fellow young dreamers, about how you are making the best of today, and not just slaving to shave a year off the time until you can retire. There's too much living to do to just always look to the distant future!
