Is your life today what you pictured a year ago?

View all responses

I would say life is close to what I anticipated, with its ups and downs adding both color and depth to the experience. I have been retired close to twenty years, a milestone that has offered me a unique perspective on the world around me. I haven’t won the lottery, which I once dreamed of, but I have survived a near-death experience a few years ago that reshaped my outlook on life. My health has been relatively the same as a year ago; I’ve made it a priority to stay active and engaged, finding joy in simple pleasures and meaningful connections. I am just living out my bonus years for the last 2 1/2 years, cherishing each day as a gift. How long will my bonus years be, who knows? Perhaps I will find new adventures waiting around the corner, as I continue to embrace the unpredictability of life and savor each moment as it comes.
