Retirement life is grand...

I love volunteering in the community, participating in elementary school literacy programs, and being involved with our local art museum. What I enjoy most now is what brought me satisfaction when I worked - connecting people and helping people grow their businesses.

John and I continue to travel. In September, we explored more of Arizona and New Mexico immersing ourselves in the culture, history, and art. We are making a trip to Pinehurst to visit the new site of the World Golf Hall of Fame this fall. We visited the old location when it was in St. Augustine and loved it.

We expanded our couple hobbies. We now have a fun small game room and play darts and pinball. Jigsaw puzzle season kicks off for us in October. Nice way to while away an hour or two.

Josmo's Café stays busy with family and friends visiting. Our meals are staying simple these days with lots of grilled salmon, baked trout, fresh salads, and homemade bread. I'm still making Cinnamon Raison bread (from my 35-year-old starter). My Slow Cooker and Insta-Pot are being put to good use as the season changes.  Recipes still posted on the Josmo's Café recipe page.

Newsletters - While I'm not writing newsletters any longer, past newsletters are still posted on the site if you're interested in reading an old one just for fun.

My retirement mantras: 

Be focused. Establish and maintain a disciplined mind, focusing on what's right with life rather that what's wrong.

Be of service. When we serve others selflessly, we are recognizing things that matter. When someone knows they matter, they are intrinsically guided to demonstrate it in ways that serve others...and the circle is complete.

Be a catalyst for good. Such actions connect us directly to the secret of creating an abundant life - our innate oneness with the universe.
