Relaxed!

Relaxed! That is just the word to express how I feel. After teaching for 34 years and raising 3 wonderful children it is certainly time to have some relaxation time. It is absolutely amazing how wonderful I feel! I don't have to rush to do anything or be any where. I can take my time doing whatever I choose to do. There is something to be said for being classified a senior citizen. Now, friends don't get me wrong I wouldn't have changed my life for anything. I love being a mom, and I loved being a teacher, but now I can do what I love most, being a wife and mother, and not feel like I have so many other pressing things to do. I can relate to my daughter with her two young children, I have been there and done that! I can relate to my friends who are still teaching, I have been there and done that! Now,I think I can begin to relate to my friends who are also retired, I am there and doing that. So, when life gets rough, take a few minutes to sit and remember, this is all part of the wonderful journey of living. Enjoy the travels and the adventures this journey of life has for you! As F.S. Fitzgearld said in his novel The Great Gatsy, "you can't repeat the past". So enjoy today, remember yesterday, and look forward to tomorrow!! RELAX!
