Retirement is not the End, just the Beginning

I still don't feel retired.  My friend, Judy said, you wonder where you found the time to do anything when you were working.  She was right.  But since I retired I had my own problems, then Parke was in the ER yesterday with now another UTI.  Today I had the MRI and now I am about to do my final Trustee's Report for Church.  I won't get the books back until next summer.

So every day - before I know it - its dinner time.

I just past the Angel that my manager, Nicole had given me with a bag of gifts.  The Angel has these words printed on it "Never underestimate the Difference you made and the lives you touched" It made think.  I hope I am still doing that.

Sundays I teach Sunday School, I had a conversation with Duncan, a 4th grader, about fried chicken, we both want to try the new Dominican Fried chicken place in Catasauqua.  I think I might explore the place and maybe even write a blog about it.  

I sincerely hope that I still touch lives.  From the people who just walk by me while I read out front and I smile at, to the children I teach on Sunday.  I hope I touch the lives of people I stand in line with and strike up a conversation with.

Do you ever wonder whose life you might touch.  We will hardly ever know the results that come about from it. I don't need to know.  You know why?  Because I will just keep trying to do better. 

Remember:

• No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.” – Aesop 

• “Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for kindness.” – Lucius Annaeus Seneca

• “Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.” – Lao Tzu

So, let's try kindness today, smile, and be gentle. You know why don't you, because that's Another day in Catasauqua
