Jumping in Again

I am back after another long break from my blog. Things ground to a halt when I scared myself by trying to learn the craft of writing. Much better to stick with a blog format that I know and enjoy rather than overthinking the art of writing! All in good time.
My retirement journey while winter turned to summer has been interesting and thought provoking.  From birdwatching to searching for waterfalls in Hamilton, it has been fun too! A quote from Marcel Proust summarizes what I have learned on my journey to date:

"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.”

Now that my career and  work no longer provide the structure that was the foundation for much of my adult life, I am developing new eyes and perspectives as I explore the world around me.
