Today at our walking club, I got chatting to a recently retired couple. It was a real inspiration to be with them and to understand that they have embraced this opportunity to spend quality time with each other as well as time with their grandchildren. One of their goals for retirement was to get fit and walk together. This was exactly what they were doing and their enjoyment was palpable.
They lovingly described their family, their children, their grandchildren and the recent fun times spent together. Their gratitude at being able to share these special moments and to watch their grandchildren grow up was inspirational.
It's moments like these that remind us to enjoy every opportunity with loved ones - afterall our time with them may be limited. Retirement is a time to look forward to, it seems. So today, I resolve to try to cherish all moments, to step back and appreciate the small things in life, to enjoy others' enjoyment and to be thankful for my own life.
Thank you to this beautiful couple for their wisdom.
