More about me

I am a retired police officer, I live alone in a very nice area.  I like to play golf, gardening and home do it yourself projects. I also enjoy traveling. As I've gotten older, I have come to appreciate the smaller things in life. When you are young you don't appreciate your health or lack of. You don't realize that you are young for only a short time, you need to enjoy it and not take it for granted. I was so busy working for so long, I never really stopped and enjoyed life as much as I should have. I feel inside, the same, but the packaging is just getting older, it's still me, the little kid inside. I am enjoying the sun more, flowers, trees, all the wonderfull things. i'm trying hard not to become synical. I have to catch myself from lecturing my boys all the time. I have to remember what it was like back then. What a shame that our generation has made so many rules and has tried to change so many things, because we think it is right. There was nothing wrong with the world when we were brought up, we need to stop trying to change it!
