Thank you for this. I am four months retired and I definitely feel this is applicable to me as well. I am wandering and enjoy enjoying every minute of it. You’re an amazing writer. I see a book in your future with your name on it as author.😊

Adoring this piece and especially resonating with these two sections:

“The rhythms of spring, a new job, and New York City have won over my attention lately, and it’s been a good kind of busy where you put your head down only to look up and notice how full the days have been.”

“The past year or so has felt like a dance of wandering off the linear path that had been laid out before me, allowing myself to carve my own course without knowing what ten steps ahead looks like, and also trusting I’ll find my way to wherever I’m meant to.”

You’ve captured the art and whimsy and uncertainty of wandering so perfectly <3
