We have goals and plans to get there but choose each day's activity
according to weather and whim. Choices tend toward physical work.

I am enjoying just letting each day happen as it will. I make plans but refuse to allow those plans drive me. Leave it open and enjoy what surprise is around the next bend or in the next day.

I have been working harder than I have in a long time. I am parked on a farm in Hollister, CA and spent most of the last three weeks sitting on a tractor. He was behind when I got here and now is almost caught up. Tiring but fun and bouncing across a field for 10-12 hours a day gives you plenty of time to think.

Can this fairly be called maturity? We are calling it retirement.

I call it semi retired, no job, no plans, no money. Now if I could just get someone to share the ride.

Now if I could just
get someone to share the ride.

You have the perfect life and now you want to muck it up!

Look who's talking.

I understand.
