A morning routine, our marriage, home improvements, involvement in the lives of our children and grandchildren.
Vocationally, there is nothing of which to be mindful anymore. Now I have to be more self-motivated, have a to-do list. When I was a pastor, there was always something to be mindful of, something to work on, another visit to make. But in retirement, the onus falls on me to generate movement and activity and any sense of direction.
I guess I’m not nearly as concerned with a sense of direction now, though a sense of purpose and meaning still looms large.
