A friend of mine was talking to me and said, you're learning to play again. After retiring from a very rewarding career, I've been working through my list of things that I wanted to accomplish but didn't really feel like I had time before.
It's been amazing! I've been doing things that have been on my list and going through things that haven't moved for 20 years and really enjoying it. I attached a trailer hitch to my mower so I can use trailer hitch things with it.
I've organized stuff to where I can actually find things now in the basement and out in the yard.
When he said that you're learning to play again something clicked inside of me. When I was a kid I always enjoyed playing and there was always time to read and grab a couple of toys and do things and go outside and run and play.
But as an adult I didn't really think that way. It was always rush here and what's the next thing on the calendar and what did I miss and who do I need to apologize to for getting upset. It's nice to just look at a day and not really have anything specific other than the things that I want to do on it.
Go for a walk, workout in the basement while I'm doing my lessons. It is funny meditating while doing a speed bag. It's actually very relaxing and rewarding and I'm sore afterwards. My play is a lot different than it was when I was a kid.
But it's still a lot of fun.
