We've only just begun to live...
I wrote about the changing Seasons of Life the other day, quite a personal one at that; but can honestly say that although I looked forward to the day I could finally bid farewell to the corporate world, the outcome would have been different had I not made plans with regards to supplementing my income if I wanted to maintain my standard of living as when in full time employment.
Further, returns from investments dropped last year due to the unstable money markets and Hive certainly became a lifesaver when we had to close our BnB during lockdown.
We all have a bucket list for sure, and there is no way mine could ever be completed without that extra income as the little pot of gold that we're offered the day we retire, can soon dry up.
So many roads to choose
We'll start out walkin' and learn to run...
Now believe it or not, we indeed start learning to walk as little babes, but the kind of walking changes during several phases or seasons of life, and that is one sure thing we cannot avoid!
Sharing horizons that are new to us
Watching the signs along the way...
We hardly learn to run, when another unknown and often winding road pops up on the horizon.
The way we tackle these changes of course affects the outcome; so always be mindful of how you approach, check the route and remember that the easiest road is not always the best!
And when the evening comes, we smile
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow
Never be afraid of a challenge, and remember the dreams you had when you were young and free; take the plunge and start start that hobby you never had time for, or turn it into a little business if you so wish, but keep on plodding and before you know it, you'll be running the race like a pro again!

The trees along my path acted like a tunnel and you can see the light at the end of the tunnel - it shines golden. That's the light of the Golden Age of Retirement.
Oh, how I would love to be able to run faster into that light, but I have to keep walking the very slow speed that everybody walks. But you might notice that the path becomes slightly brighter the closer you get to the end.
