The breezy self-talk drifts through my brain, "When I retire, then I will have time to...." (fill in the blank). Write, build a greenhouse, record songs, ride my bike--RIDE MY BIKE!! And I console myself, as I am sure so many other baby boomers continue to do in essentially the same way, with the mantra, "I am committed to my work, which is important work."
So, the epiphany today, that it doesn't have to be an "either/or" dichotomy, but instead can be "both/and". I will be committed to my work as much as feels right. I will listen to the wisdom of my gut and my soul. I will spend time doing what my soul desires and not feel guilty about it.
