Retirement Offers Flexibility and Options For Pursuits!

Just cancelled my camping reservation for the coming week in a state park. Forecast is for a series of weak weather disturbances over New England and into the Gulf of Maine. Looks to be an extended window of surf opportunities on 2’-5’ waves for the week ahead.

Given the choice, I take the waves and the adrenaline rush anytime, at the expense of a $15 cancellation fee for my camping reservation. So, the challenge is to pace myself and select the appropriate ride for a particular day – waveski, surf kayak or longboat? Good problem!

Mahalo (for having options and opportunities in the “go-go” years)!!!

Enjoy it while you can.
The pace gets slower.

Yup, It’s inevitable. I try to keep the “sense of urgency” and, yes, giddiness tamped down and to enjoy these moments. But, the “flip side” is coming at some point.

Maybe. Seems like I sweat earlier and work more retired than when working for money.
