I am now retired. Seems only yesterday that I started the 50 mile daily trek to Snoqualmie, to make a living. But that was six years ago. Feels a little strange not to wake up at 5 and make a dash for the door, before the rest of the house wakes up. Even the dog :-)
What does not feel strange is lack of a commute. Snowbound, rainslick, windswept, parking lot, I have seen all the faces of eastbound Washington traffic. But I have never seen the smiling faces of my boys as they wake up. Which is why I am loving the luxury of having breakfast together. The joy of some quiet time to think. Plan what I want to do next. Life has been bountiful and I am grateful. I hope I always stay humble and grateful.
