A quilting friend of mine posted this on Facebook today, “Recently, there was an article that told how the wealthiest places on earth are not the oil fields of the Middle East nor the diamond mines of South Africa. The wealthiest places are the cemeteries. Buried in the ground are businesses that were never formed, songs that were never sung, books that were never written, potential that was never realized, and dreams that never came to pass. So just go do it.......” Life can change so quickly, so very quickly for the bad—just go do it, fulfill your dreams, write that book, take that trip, whatever it was or is, just go do it. Michael and I are not wealthy in money but we are so incredibly wealthy in so many other ways—our health, an awesome, beautiful place to live which has no mortgage, no debt, great family and friends, the means to travel when we want—we took a chance on retiring early and we are so glad we did—we are surely blessed!

ReplyDeleteI have been able to enjoy, the people I love and just life itself.
I retired on my 55th Birthday - soon as eligible, and have never regretted it.
