Loving the retired Dave moments. He’d look like a natural exploring the bottom of the sea…🤭

Sometimes I think that self exploration (ahem, retirement) is harder than working! 😎

Retired Dave would look awesome at Angel Falls, in my native Venezuela. That’s a trip of a lifetime. That’s what I call an un-retirement! You’re more active than ever but with purpose!

Now, you got me thinking with that question about our pains. As always, great food for thought. Happy un-retirement!

I am more active. I can't imagine what I would have lost staying in that corporate role. Time with the grandkids, my own time of seeking and more.

Congratulations for that! There’s nothing better than looking back and feeling good about the decisions we’ve made. 👏👏👏

First of all, these never get old, Dave! It's like a not-Flat Stanley!

😂

Secondly, I think I'm drawn to the definition "to move from". That speaks to understanding what we can let go of, leave behind. And it may even indicate a returning to something we were earlier. An essence that was lost.

This gave me the giggles. Especially the Star Wars day one 😀

That one was fun to do. I had to work to get the angle and lighting right and if you look close, my logo icon is on the ship with blast marks.

I went to high school in Manhattan. I loved hanging out on Park Avenue watching the cars go by.
