life today

I had to come up with a caption for this photo;
meerkats are just too cute!

life is good today.
I'm healthier now than I was at 40.
retirement is awesome(unless you're workaholic)
even though i loved my career, there were
changes in the personnel , leadership and types
of calls we responded to.

the number of medical runs was going up,
and the amount of fires were going down.
we had a t-shirt that expressed our view;
MORE FIRES---LESS BULLSHIT

now I work part time in fitness.
it is a lesson in humility.
once a former gym owner, now
i just coach members on technique.

though not as exciting, my life today
is contented, stable and meaningful.

having 6 recovering alky-addicts living
in the other half of our duplex is amazing.
there is daily opportunity for me to
witness all the phases, levels and tests
of recovery.
