Musing over Money

We are spending the weekend at our timeshare, relaxing at the end of Spring Break. We are waiting for the last paycheck, the first retirement paycheck, and the payout of sick days and vacation time for my husband. It is the in-between week of both of our paychecks, and still we headed out for this little get away. This morning I reminisced about our first years together. We would chase every timeshare offer, just to have a little vacation. One particular time we headed north to a timeshare in Sedona. It was a beautiful facility. We spent the night there enjoying a free dinner in their restaurant and received $50, which we used to pay for our gas to get back home. The dinner was fabulous, and as we sat there by the blazing fireplace, we watched huge snowflakes fall outside the floor to ceiling windows. We left home without a worry, so different from this worry fraught trip. Why do we let fear and worry creep into our lives as we age? I hope we can regain that same fearless and worry free love of life.
