Retirement?


Sometimes I think I have a love/hate relationship with work. Given enough idleness, I am desperate to work. When I have a pile of work waiting for me, I wish it were already done.

When I am in the process of working, time flies - I enjoy the process. When the work is done, I am overwhelmed by a deep feeling of satisfaction.

The take-home from this is simple - live in the present. I wish I could add something profound to that statement but it really is that simple.

So - this week, which appears to be fully about work and not at all about retirement, I will happily live in the present. Ah - what is that feeling seeping up into my chest. Happiness? Yes. Satisfaction? Most assuredly.
