Finally: Bliss!

Today was the first day of retirement that I've really enjoyed. Perfect Minnesota summer weather, in the mid-seventies. No pressing outdoor work waiting for attention; inside chores pretty much done.

Bob had business to attend to so I was alone for much of the day. I spent an hour or so at Target looking at toddler toys, as I searched for a birthday present. I made three stops at Highland Village for sourdough bread, cocktail shrimp, and wild bird food. This afternoon I played with gift wrap made on my printer.

The sun is beginning to set and I feel none of my usual worry and existential angst. So-o-o relaxed and happy! A much better version of my usual self.
