Am I doing what I'm supposed to be doing? Who knows? That was part of my problem all along, I guess. I never really knew what I wanted to do. So I just made things up as I went along. Went to college, went to law school, had a few different jobs, and so far, I've retired twice. I've been sidetracked for the last year so by a family problem, but that's about the end.
What's next? I'm not sure. I'm deciding that now. I guess I'm fortunate that I actually have the ability to choose what I want to do and then do it. Some people aren't so lucky. Maybe I'm travel around the world some more.
I'm fine where I am. I've worked as little as possible during my life, just enough to afford the basic essentials of life close enough to the edge of comfort. The work I've done was what came easy to me, so I was neither exerted nor stressed. It gave me the leisure to spent about ten years overseas and to go around the world. The work I did resulted in an entitlement to about a thousand dollars a month Social Security, on which I have long been accustomed to living, along with a bit of savings from the good luck to have a good-paying job for a couple of years.
I guess I am (and have always been) doing what I am supposed to be doing, because if I were doing anything else, I'd be wondering where I went wrong..
Actually, it's not. Hindsight is selective vision, and in many respects, with great blind spots. You can choose to remember the things that made your life good, or the things that made it bad. In your later years, that's all you've got.
