April 16, 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n After spending about two weeks with a dozen retirees I learned a few things. One thing I learned is anything I would discover, and think is \u201cnew\u201d and is pretty cool, they have already experienced. I would get that \u201cyeah, we know\u201d expression, with a patience often practiced on grandchildren.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00a0Another thing I learned, a gift from my new friend Joan: \u00a0\u201cdon\u2019t sweat the small stuff\u201d. \u00a0\u00a0I needed that advice. \u00a0I\u2019ve incorporated it into my daily life, now that I\u2019m back home in Montana.\u00a0 Things that used to pester, to irritate, I can just glide past now. Thank you, Joan and Dick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
