Life begins when work ends
Life begins…when job ends.
A young lion is sitting next to an old one watching a herd of young gazelles from the top of the mountain. Excited young lion shouts: Let’s run! We’ll catch one! The old lion replies with a nonchalant yawn: Naw, let’s wait till they all come to us.
When I was young, I wanted everything. I was always rushing somewhere and could never get there on time. I broke my heels countless times jogging with shopping bags and a child who had to pet a flee-infected cat and smell a flower just then.-The cat is dirty- I argued killing the miracle in the eyes of my daughter, pulling her away ripping my bags open filled with, how else?, eggs. Running like a road runner, I got to…the retirement.
Beyond doubt, it is some sort of a border, On one side, there are young, seemingly attractive professionals, on the other quiet, silent old men. I won’t lie, I was afraid of disappearing into the shadow. In our country, there are not many prospects for the elderly. We’re all supposed to be young, slim and rich. Then life is a piece of cake.
I’ll admit it, it is better to weigh less than more- once again big thanks to Ms Englisz from SetPoint who helped me shed 9 kilos and at east 9 years, but it is not about being thin, but healthy. Happy, not rich, though one doesn’t exclude the other, and very often on the contrary. But it is most important to honestly say: this is what makes me happy and not to be afraid to do it.
And that’s how I, Alice, entered the Wonderland. I don’t get up at 6 am to make it work, but sip my coffee slowly taking in the morning view. I go for long walks, read books, which I’ve been putting aside for years. I test cosmetics /my full recommendations goes to Ava from Eco Line, the only cram which doesn’t give me allergy/, take massages, and at times devote my time to a very philosophical profession of doing absolutely NOTHING.
I have crossed out the sentencje: if I was younger, I would…I am where I am and I am going to do everything I haven’t done before, for example go to America. I simply want to see it, why not? I’m putting on the red shoes and go to face the challenge. To be surely continued!
