| Valentine Day breakfast in Murrells Inlet |
 |
| The Dead Dog Salon has an amazing breakfast with views of the inlet and the glorious sunshine. |
 |
| Once back at the campground we spent 2 hours sitting on the beach reading, crocheting and watching the dogs on the beach. |
 |
| They do have fun. |
 |
| Size does not matter everyone has fun. |

| Our view to the State Park Pier |

35 years living a life driven by a purpose external to who I
am - a job.
I am finding the circumstance of retirement surreal as I
gazed into a soft blue sky feathered with white clouds that my new purpose will be the most important one of my life, my purpose is to see me and set the
course of my actions for this the final stage of life - to end my life knowing I have lived it well.
I say this with out regret as I believe that this life is part
of the continuum of existence that extends beyond human death.
The questions that consumed me today were not about I want to
do in the next 20+ years left to me, they were about what in living this life I will leave for my
grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great great grandchildren - the people who
will come after me.
I think it is important that in this the last saga of my life
that I work hard to ensure that the world around me knows joy, is less focused
on things and that for the planet I leave it healthier through my
existence.
I have no idea what any of this means and on this beautiful
sunny day as I look up at the sky, first from my vantage point on the beach and
then through the window of our trailer as we relax for an afternoon nap my goal
is to know me and how I interact with the world around me.

| And we ended our day with a 1/2 price banana split we are really going to miss these when we get home. |
Today is the half way mark for this wonder adventure we are on.

Love the food and views at the Dead Dog, and a relaxing days enjoying the good life.
Retirement sure is a wonderful way to wind down the busy lifestyles we had for so many years. And watch our children and grandchildren grow and learn.
It is I am missing my children and grandchildren. The decision to travel the first three months of my retirement has unintended consequences. The grandchildren are just going to have to put up with seeing the Grandma and Grandpa a great deal come April. LOL
