I have poor balance, always have. Didn't like skiing in high school, thought I'd fall the entire way down the mountain. Tripped and sprained ankles three times.
So today was a banner day. We're in Bermuda, I really wanted to experience the freedom of exploring the island. Not quite in a Vespa, but I could doitmn a motorized bike. And we did. Seven hours, to Hamilton, lunch there at Hog Penny Pub. Then to Flatts Village Aquarium, and finally Crystal Caves. Exhausted now, thigh muscles are quivering. BUT I DID IT!
I told Mike last night, I don't look at this as the start of retirement. It is the restorative, celebratory phase. And we will launch into new adventures and projects. God will show us.
Retirement implies hedonism and oldness and coasting and not being of any use to anyone else. Well, thats not us! I want to restore us mind body and spirit, but also see where we can help others. I want to get healthier, more athletic. I want to stretch, grow, try new things. Adventures! This is the age of adventure!
