Living Gets Harder, Even if Life Gets Easier
Earth is Our Temporary Home
I’m retired now, and that’s made my life easier in a lot of ways. I can get up whenever I want to and stay up as late as I like, I don’t punch a clock anymore, I don’t really answer to any person on this Earth, I make my own schedule, and for the most part, I do what I want, when I want, rather than meeting inescapable expectations and obligations to other things and people, like I did when I worked. I think I was made for retirement!
I’m still pretty busy, but I’m doing what I want to do, rather than what I have to do. I channel most days, I write on Medium, I have a small business, I run a website, I’m a co-founder of the Angelic Activation Practitioner program, I’m one of several caregivers for my mother-in-law, and then there’s all the rest of the everyday stuff everyone contends with like errands, house upkeep, laundry … well you know.
You’d think I’d be stuck in a perpetual cycle of happiness, right? Yet, I have to work at being joyful. I meditate, I write, I read, I help others when I can, I spend time with my children and grandchildren when possible, I stay productive, and I make time for myself, checking in daily to make sure I stay in good spirits. I spend a lot of therapeutic time with the Angels and other high Guides.
