When I was contemplating whether to retire I asked a friend "what will I do all day??" I seriously pictured a life of wandering from room to room looking for dust mites. My friend answered "whatever you want". It was the "whatever" I was having a problem with.No one is more surprised than I to discover that I am so busy I have actually had to cut back on certain activities and that I haven't gotten around to some of the things I planned on doing!
I watched Senator Joe Lieberman give his farewell to Congress speech today. He is retiring after a long, productive career and many accomplishments. The pundits on TV asked "what will he do now?" Hahaha I thought. For an intelligent, involved man with a wife he adores I have no doubt he will be busier and happier than he can imagine.
Congratualtions Joe! You have truly earned the "Gift of Rest"...
