Life in retirement
A Life Free from Worry
Some evenings, Brenda and I are sprawled out at a beachfront table with friends, the sun melting into the Pacific, and I catch myself grinning and thinking, “Okay, we really nailed this one.”
We rent a condo in Mazatlán. We gave the house thing a shot for a while, and turns out, a house can get awfully quiet. Now our friends are practically down the hall. We get together, we laugh way too loud, and we take on the problems of the world like we’re getting paid for it. Whatever we can’t fix tonight? That’s tomorrow’s problem.
Even the little stuff got easier. Brenda and I still high-five (figuratively) over the day we gave up owning a car. Want to go somewhere? Call a taxi. No insurance, no gas, and parking is somebody else’s headache. Best deal going!
I love that we can come and go as we please. Honestly, some days a morning coffee with Brenda and a sunset with friends is all the itinerary I need.
Yep, another day in paradise.
