Being retired means doing whatever the hell I want. My oldest brother taught me well, and now, every day is Saturday. I have downloaded hundreds of books, and have even more physical books, and now I have the time to read them. I can read fast, or take my time. I can study stoicism, or reach for the stars with Robert Heinlein, Arthur c. Clarke, Asimov. I can read the amazing Will Durant histories. I can walk, run, bicycle and swim when I want to, instead of shoving it into a crowded schedule. I can drive across the fruited plain for months on end, or remain near home and sleep in. I can volunteer, or not.
As Jackie Gleason said, the world is my oyster.
I spent a lifetime helping, teaching,and inspiring thousands, and those thousands will go on to help and inspire millions, and all of it will echo through eternity. I received and learned much more, and will continue because I was lucky enough to have been born in the greatest nation on God’s green Earth.
Well said
Wow, what a neat testimony! Well done...
