What Will You Do When You Retire by Kelly DeMaegd

Kelly DeMaegd lives in Sherrills Ford, North Carolina, with her husband, a Frisbee-crazed German Shepherd, and a herd of deer that are not too shy to eat every flower and vegetable in her garden.

Dorcas:
Not so elaborate did I ponder, I was prepared to leave for freedom's sake alone.

I think "After a cup of tea, almost anything is possible" belongs on a t-shirt!

Can relate Kelly. I think Ross may be right. After the cup of tea, the time out, your future will unroll in surprising ways.

A well-made point (poetcally delightful) that everything good in life flows first from conscious connection with our inmost being and that Presence in everything around us. Enjoy your retirement!

Sounds like a good plan. But I want to do some of the first stanza activities, too!
