Excellent, I really liked this! The older we get the more aware we become of our lives, the passing of time, what we've had and what we never have time for. Yes, too many lies and too many sighs, some bittersweet goodbyes, but then there are the other times worth remembering. :-)

Oh, I liked this. How did you get so clever? I think the luxury of retirement is filling your head with all sorts of good ideas. There is creativity now where there used to be stress. The loud noises are being replaced with lovely sounding musical notes. Yes Virginia, there is life with a pension. xox
