No Bowling Yet--Too Busy
November 21, 2012
My trip to the bowling alley never happened, but I spent the day in a flurry of activities, nonetheless. I believe that this is what retirement will actually look like.
My neighbor helped me fill two shopping carts with canned vegetables and canned fruit. Winn Dixie donated a $10 gift card toward my purchases. Thank you, Winn Dixie and its manager. https://www.winndixie.com/Pages/Home.aspx
Troy, the young man at Winn Dixie, boxed all of the canned goods and loaded my car, then we headed to the Coalition for the Homeless. There we delivered the food to be added to tomorrow's Thanksgiving meal for the hundreds of people who will be waiting.
Both my friend and I were tired and happy at the same time. It was a small part of many donations to those in need here in Orlando.
Afterwards, I spent the day with my son at an upscale mall, just wandering, and we ended up at IKEA. He purchased decorations for his table for Thanksgiving. We were both very grateful that we have homes, family, friends, and security at this holiday season.
I'm hoping that you and your friends and family share a wonderful meal together tomorrow. Happy Thanksgiving.
This feels better than bowling. Maybe bowling can wait.
