I spent time
this weekend working on my lessons and then I put some of what I learned into
practice. I can pretty much say that I
am sure to Ace Retirement but in the meantime I am having a terrific time in
pre-retirement wherein I am getting the most out of my work day as well as my
weekends, vacations and after hours.
Naturally I find the spring, summer and fall the most invigorating of
times while winter sets me into the doldrums.
I believe that is due in large part to sun deprivation and so I am
hoping that when I am home all day that I will be able to get outside more
frequently in the wintertime to enjoy the sunshine and thus build up my
enthusiasm for winter as well.
As the countryside turns green, warm and
more occupied I find that my spirits lift tremendously and as I stroll around
the malls, streets and hallways I notice that people around me generally have
that same uplifted quality. Is it any
wonder that people in tropical areas are so friendly and happy when we meet
them on vacation? And yet, they continue
to discover that Danish people are the happiest people in the world, why is
that I wonder? I don’t believe it is because they are “taken care of from
cradle to grave”, not at all. I think
they are predisposed to be more easy-going in life, generally speaking, as well
as being satisfied with less.
The other day I had 2 mule deer roaming
about the acreage and they did not get overly excited when I stepped
outside. They looked at me for a long
time, then went back to nibbling on the grass and slowly they wandered around
to the other side of the bushes.
Perfectly laid back and very Danish.
My kind of critter.
