I’m not sure what retirement looks like. I see a few retired people around me now and they look busy. I don’t think I could retire from painting but yes from a day job. I think of the place I would move too and how I would try to relax.

Something something a boat in a lake.

I imagine cool cold water to relax and moving away from all the nonessential things and people I deal with weekly. I imagine traveling to do shows and museums. Something simple.

But also spooky.

So my answer is, yes.

I found myself laughing about this question. It’s just very silly.

So there is this wooden donkey I have had since I was a tiny kiddo. I think my mom gave it to me from a trip to Mexico in the 70s. I used to have my toys play on his back. Everything I owned became a wrestling toy. Pepé won a few world championship belts I’m sure. It’s just who I was at the time.

I miss having simple pleasures without computers or electronic” big boy toys. “😂

I sit and meditate with him on a stand with a few wooden figures I own every morning.

All in a day we are old friends .

This is one of those questions I’m never sure how to answer.

I woke up and hugged my wife and sat with my cats and nothing bad happened. Always a nice thing. Just a nice morning. No loud noises or energy cutoffs. I just feel good. Took my old man vitamins and stretching out my back and shoulders.

It is simple but very peaceful. A zen moment.

It’s all I ask for in a morning.

I wish you the same in your journey.

Painter out,
