Confused

Here's my inner conversation these days:

OK, so I'm retired. Now what? It took a year to get into the new rhythm & happily I now have tons of good energy. That's a good thing. Only I started doing too much and I could feel my body getting way too revved up.

Hmmm, what was my idea of a happy retirement? Oh, having lots of reading time, working on projects and volunteering. So, using that as my measuring stick, am I doing what I want? Yes and no. Lots of projects and volunteering, not enough reading. Well, that was easy. Just carve out more reading time. Only it's not so easy....I always think I have to be DOING something.

And round and round I go. Seems like the glitch is in the slowing down part. What keeps me from that?

Breakfast today: the tail end of Mark's biscotti. I've been trying not to annihilate the chocolate chili cashew ones but as of today they're history. And these 2 very tasty strawberries.
