Nothing...it ain't easy!

I retired.
I retired at age 70.
I retired after having held some kind of job...either full-time...or part-time while attending college and/or Grad School...since age 18.  The final 41 years of employment were as a pastor or administrator in the United Methodist Church.
I retired as of June 30, 2015.

I now do nothing.
And it ain't easy.

I read two articles on how doing nothing helps one get things done.  Those articles were just nonsensical.  Nothing to them, really.

There is a bit of guilt associated with doing nothing...instead of doing something...but it can be easily overcome if one knows how.

Borrowing the good suggestions of others...and maybe throwing in some of my own thoughts...I have come up with some things I can be doing...or practicing...while I am working out the details of this doing nothing thing.

Here goes.

Even while doing nothing...I can:

Live and Let Live.

Be Positive instead of Negative.

Reflect on the Lessons that Losing offers.

Spend some Time Alone Every Day.

Be Open to Change.

Practice the Presence of Silence.

Live in the Moment.

Advocate for Peace.

Proceed Calmly with Life.

Do No Harm.

And of course...Develop a Healthy Sense of Leisure.
