I can finally sleep until I wake up naturally. This is happiness full of joy.
got up this morning and looked at the time. It was already past seven-thirty. Before that, there must have been another panic attack.
I used to be woken up by the alarm clock at half past five. I hurriedly drank tea and walked Poole out for more than an hour. I came home at seven o'clock, cleaned him and had dinner. It was almost half past seven, and then I hurriedly walked around. I'm busy eating something, I have to rush to clock in for work soon.
posted a text on WeChat Moments at noon, which read, "Reset all alarm clocks and live a happy life without being woken up." A friend replied, "You can't sleep either." But the truth is exactly the opposite. After retirement, not only can I sleep well, but the quality of my sleep is also excellent. Even the heavy wind and rain at night these past few days have not affected me from falling asleep immediately after going to bed. This was unimaginable before.
I call the days after retirement my new life, and the unhurried rhythm I call the old times.
I like this life. Before retiring, I imagined my post-retirement life countless times, but I only had vague imagination. Only through my own experience now can I have a real feeling.
Originally, after retirement, I planned to visit nearby suburban counties as a prelude to my future self-driving adventures. I even planned to go further afield, but the multiple outbreaks of the epidemic deterred me. I am not worried about the epidemic. What I am worried about is that if there is a close or sub-close contact on the way and I am quarantined or stay at home, Poole's life will be very problematic.
This morning, I walked Poole home and cleaned him up. It was already ten o'clock sharp. Make a pot of tea and drink it slowly, and you will suddenly feel that the taste is very different from before. It lacks the smell of anxious smoke and has a relaxed and sweet fragrance. Isn't this the taste of the old times in the slow-paced days of the past? ?, mature and thick.
The development of society promotes the high-speed rhythm of life. People are like a part in the social machine, forgetting what life should be like. I was the same before. When I woke up every day, it was like being activated by a machine. The most exquisite details of life were ignored one by one. Drinking tea was only to quench thirst and refresh myself. Eating was not a pleasure, but just to not be hungry so as to free up more time. Complete work tasks within the time required.
Retirement is the most warm and humane system in human history, allowing workers who have always been too busy to understand the meaning of life to experience the meaning of life and the value of life. In 2008, I called for the "recommended retirement age to be advanced five years", which attracted attention and discussion. The article was plagiarized by a certain literati and submitted to Xinhuanet . It was recommended on the home page of Xinhuanet and caused widespread sensation. Explain the public's concern about this matter. Of course, the thief was later exposed, but the influence of the article remains.
More than ten years ago, I longed to retire, shed my burdens, and start a free life. Now, the wish has come true. The new life of retirement and reliving the old days are the greatest pleasure in life. Be joyful, be joyful!
