Finding our way to The Way one situation at a time. I don't know how great it will be, but I expect it will be interesting, and I look forward to it going on past all reason because wonder is just that way. Are you coming or not?

We get up and meet the day every day. The day asks things of us, and we find treasures and joy scattered throughout the day. Perspective, expectation, attitude, balance and harmony impact the day's impact on us and help to make things better or worse throughout the day.
For me, fatigue and nutrition/hydration are the primary factors determining how I react to and deal with what the day brings my way.
Being mindfully aware of the flow of what's called for and what's coming and going helps maintain my readiness for what's next and lets me know when it is time to call time out for rest and recovery in order to regroup and carry on.
Reflection and evaluation at day's end helps me gauge my response-ability situation-by-situation and provides insight and adjustments in preparation for what's coming in the days that lie ahead, which my nighttime dreams also help with in my on-going work to be/do what needs doing day-by-day all the way.
I'm retired, and still finding my way--but now, I don't have to pretend that I know what I'm doing.
I retired after 40.5 years as a minister in the Presbyterian Church USA, serving churches in Louisiana, Mississippi and North Carolina. I graduated from Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary, in Austin, Texas, and Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, Louisiana. My wife, Judy, and I have three daughters, five granddaughters, one great granddaughter, and a great grandson on the way, within about ten minutes from where we live--and are enjoying our retirement as much as we have ever enjoyed anything.
