A Little Bit of This & That

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.
