A one minute video of my backyard red oak tree. Cloud movement to note the passage of real time.

When I feel stressed or rushed, I watch this.

If the clip feels “too long” then I know it’s time to Slow Down … and watch the clip again. 🍁☁️

GM! Sitting with pen and paper and morning tea doing some planning. ✍️

Also a little sketch from a photo I took the other day…. that has a truly wonky door (the sketch, not the photo). 😅

asked the other day “What does your retirement look like?”

For me, being retired after 30+ years, it’s all about spending my time as I want to, no longer at the whim of someone else.

I can stay up until 4 am on Sunday because I’m working on one of my projects and “Monday” doesn’t matter anymore.

I can wake up at 2 pm the next day.

And at 4:30 pm, I can sit in my backyard, playing with art stuff, while the unretired are getting ready to leave work and sit in rush hour.
