and there's nothing I can do about it. Monday was fine; Tuesday was even better. I sat on the deck a brief period each day.
Today, I'm hunkered down in the house with dogs and television. The adjustment I'm having to make in being retired is the realization repeatedly that I don't have to do anything and I don't have to go anywhere. I find myself wondering what should I be doing, where should I go?
SO I am retraining, learning to select activities based on my interest, or my personal need, but not based on obligation. Very nice situation I think, this personal freedom.
I have watched a lot of television, including movies. The pleasure is waning as the time goes on, so I look forward to improved weather so I can spend some effort in the flower beds and, OF COURSE, sit on the deck.
I have an image of sitting on the deck with cold drink, good book, maybe the dogs and enjoying a warm breeze and fresh air. Aaaah.
SO if the weather relents, the rain abates, the air warms I will be quite pleased. Yes, I'm spoiled. But I'm also mighty grateful.
