Lake Haigler 03 — 11/24 Anne Springs Close Greenway, Fort Mill, South Carolina

There is always something to come to terms with. It is relentless and unending, our being asked/required to grow up some more again today. It appears to be a plot against us until we look closer and see that the trend can be linked directly to our addiction to wanting, desiring, having to have. It is a proven reality over time, the less we want, the happier we are. Supreme happiness is reserved for those who want nothing ever any time. We can stop being miserable the minute we stop wanting anything. The economy will crash, but we won’t care.

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.
