It is our place to discover what we do best and what we like to do most. They may be the same thing, and they may be quite dif-ferent. And it is also our place to spend our life doing them along with all the other things we enjoy doing that spin off from what we do best and what we like to do most. So that our life becomes a collection of things we love to do, and it is our place as the collector of things we love most about life to live so as to increase the number of items in our collection year by year until we are brimming with the wonder and joy of things we love to do and are quite thrilled by and interested in so that we are looking forward to every day to find more things that thrill us and call us forth into life and being as those who are on a mission to relish each day for the delights and beauty it holds and shares with us throughout the time there is for living, and to know what a joy it is to live that way.

And it is never too late to begin living in this way. It is always just the right time to start. What do you do best? What do you enjoy doing most? Be about these things here and now, with all your heart, and mind, and soul and strength! Living as though you mean it throughout the time left for living! YahRoo! The game's afoot!

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.
