Naps.

Not chasing the brass monkey.

Remembering The Beatles’ first appearance on the Ed Sullivan show.

Looking through old photo albums.

Revisiting old neighborhoods and seeing how much they’ve changed.

Comfortable shoes.

Friends who remember you when.

New friends who appreciate who you are now.

More naps.

Being able to appreciate excellent books and music.

Not caring about who the latest star is.

Delighting to the wonders of each changing season.

Sitting on a park bench and watching life go by.

Savoring dark chocolate.  Rich coffee.  Exquisite pesto.  Cheetos.

Protecting your time, privacy and boundaries fiercely.

Lifelong pets.

Not dreading Mondays.

Understanding the value of silence.

Letting things fall away that steal your energy.

Laughing more.

Did we mention naps?

“Sometimes I sits and thinks and sometimes I just sits.”
