| Summer through the screen |
| It is a Monday morning. I am sitting in my pajamas on the front porch listening to 6" of old rain run down the hill and under my bridge. The wrens are singing, the cardinals chirping. Already the feel of a mid-summer day is hanging humid and heavy.
Sitting here, I realize that in the past week I have sensed a change in myself.
I think I have accepted retirement. I think i am settling into a more leisurely way. Not leisurely in that I don't want physical activity or to get things done but, hmm, how do I explain it? Perhaps I am just relaxing and putting all those habits from years of work behind me.
Anyway, it is mighty fine sitting on the front porch with my coffee contemplating the high summer day ahead of me.

Sounds like a lovely morning. I wonder if retirement at first feels like when you take some vacation days and you have all these things you want to accomplishment? And then after awhile, your brain finally accepts that you don't have to go back to work and then you can finally begin to relax. Whatever the reason, it sounds marvelous.
I think that it is, Erica. I am finally beginning to believe that I don't have to go back to work. I am finally beginning to believe that it is okay to just piddle the whole live long day! and it is okay to enjoy piddling! lol
