A Recent Sunday
Sunday morning. Ham and egg sandwich and coffee at Panera. A
small ‘to do’ list but no timeline. Me and the love of my life sitting across
from each other sharing laughs and dreams.
What would it be like to recreate this scene every day and not just on Sunday? Especially the ‘no timeline’ part. That’s one of the pictures in my head when we dream of retirement.
We are not the ‘sit on front porch rockers’ types; we want do some kind of work for as long as we can. Part time work. Escape from the rat race work. Meaningful work.
Sunday is my recharge day and has been for decades. A relaxing day creates a mental environment perfect for dreaming; perfect for erasing the busyness of the preceding week and designing a potentially exciting coming week.
Conversation, reading, listening to music, running a few errands, sipping wine. Hanging with friends. Laughing. Dreaming. The perfect Sunday.
I want more of those.
