Retirement

You have worked hard all your life now it is time to retire
Go out and explore new things, surround yourself with what you desire
You are now entering a new phase of your life where you have more control over time and what you want to do with it
So many new opportunities will present itself, you just have to see which ones will fit
The most important thing you must do for yourself is to keep yourself mentally and physically alive
As you get older health problems are lining up to visit you, so get out there and exercise, for this you must strive
The old saying goes when I retire I am going to do this
You need to make a plan of things you want to do,write them down or lots of opportunities you might miss
First and foremost do whatever makes you happy, plan a trip to an exotic place
Be active but also find time to relax you are not in some kind of race
Life is like a novel you are nearing the final chapter
Make it joyful and fun, spends more time with family and friends, but above all enjoy yourself and fill your world with lots of love and laughter

A yes for me. Adding my 2 cents. We all leave unfinished projects, for someone else to finish in our honor. So the more projects we start the more we will be honored and remembered. Your words resonate with wisdom. Definitely an owl for your call sign. Best regards David
