The things that are filling me (I like that idea of “filling”):
The gratitude that I have with reaching retirement and being healthy enough to enjoy it. So many do not experience that blessing.
The awesomeness of God’s timing! I am now able to be “present” when I am needed. So many situations that could have been so much worse if I had been tied up at work, but I was available.
The pleasure of a leisurely cup of coffee and a book!
Draining things:
Feeling selfish when “things” happen that I am able to help with-and I really want time to myself. Then feeling guilty!
Still getting used to that “fixed income” thing that comes with that retirement blessing!
I guess I never realized how intertwined this filling/draining thing could be. Looks like I need to keep an eye on the running faucet and keep the drain clear or I’ll be all out of sorts!🥰😂
