Retiring....almost....

I haven't posted for a while. This is MY main blog. My personal musings. My things. AND SO:

My retirement is days away. The question has arisen - what first? The question is... what to do or not to do?

I would like to nourish and develop in my body, my intellect, and my spirit. What IS important? Answers are in books. SO:

Re-read:
  • The Little Prince
  • Comfortable with uncertainty. by Pema Chodron or another book by her such as: Start where you are OR ????
  • The Testament by Elie Wiesel
  • Harold Kushner book: When All You've Ever Wanted Isn't Enough: The Search for a Life That Matters

OR Read that which I have not read such as:
there is SO many...
?????


For a rather new activity for me... play some tennis... and also swim some laps.

Yoga!!! - where in Davis are there some intensive deals to be had (such as 10 days for some price... to try out some school)

DRUM.... and play piano and other instruments I have around the house including Sarah's bass guitar.

PRAY and meditate. DO THIS first thing on Thursday and try to continue daily after that!!! Thus begin a personal spiritual practice.

Such are my thoughts as I move towards THE DAY..

I might also read a book I have about Retirement... that I got on my birthday a couple of years ago.

BUT - do not dwell too much on past stuff or repeat too much from the past. Grow. Develop. Change.

While I am good I could be better. Which is something that can be said for all!
