The Pleasures of Growing Older

I would never have thought that I would enjoy being the ripe old age of 64. As I look back on my life I can truly say I have found great pleasure in growing older. Aging is often looked at as a negative experience to some individuals but once we overlook the physical changes, we can retain our youthful attitudes and focus on the many pleasures of life that lie ahead.

As I look to retire from the 40 hour work week, and look forward to the 24 hour a day, seven day a week personal responsibility, I am looking forward to this transition and believe that it will be fruitful and exciting for me. I love the idea that I can enjoy each day and I will be able to schedule my off days and vacations to my satisfaction. I am ready to throw the alarm clock out the window because it will no longer rule my day. I have put in my time and it is now time for me to reap all the benefits of all that I have sown. I plan to structure a new lifestyle, and I will focus my time on self exploration and utilize each day to my own satisfaction. I plan to enjoy each day to the fullest until the day that my time is up, then I will check out to my eternal vacation.
