Most of our adult lives our commitments consume our time. We don't dislike having to be busy and responsible for others. It's what we do! As we age our obligations and priorities change - that's not always a bad thing! If we live long enough it happens!
Once retired, our retirement frees up our personal time, so we can pretty much can do whatever we want. If we have a choice, we can fritter our time away doing nothing, or we can do something!
My interests are all over the place -- seldom am I ever bored. Cartooning, creating caricatures for tourists at popular resorts here in the states and abroad, in the past, and music appreciation, church involvement, sailing, photography, creative writing, cooking and flying my drones, as well as, fooling around with my tractor on our property have been my occupation since retiring in my late fifties.
In the days and weeks to come, I want to slow down on my writing to spend more of my time editing and producing my videos for my YouTube channel, and other personal ventures. My page "whats-up-melton.blogspot.com" continues on the internet - my past stories are archived there for those who would like to read them. I am choosing to spend more time with my videos though for now.
As a wise man in Tibet once shared with me, over an expresso in Katmandu, "Doing something good is always a good thing to do!" I had that tattooed on my "sleeve", but I traded that shirt with an Uber driver for a ride to the Pashhupatinath Temple on the banks of the Bagmati River in India. (Not really true, I just made this up for some interesting content to my story.)
So long, my deer friends, and all those who have been my faithful readers over all these many years. Be ye blessed, and have a nice day, ya hear? Fresh corn for the deer this afternoon.
