We shared fellowship and developed plans to be of service to the youth of our community. We did it for about 10 years. The experience was one of great satisfaction to us all. Friendships were cemented that have lasted well beyond the time the group decided to disband with the promise to get together less frequently.
We have managed to have breakfast together since then, but not as frequently. Now we just enjoy the fellowship. There is something almost mystical about getting up early in the morning and swapping lies and stories with folks whom you have come to know very well
Each of us has continued on our paths to personal achievement. We all want to make a difference in our separate realities. And we are, even if we are not sure of the specifics of our contribution.
Some of us have decided that retirement is the next step. From what those folks tell me the retirement decision was the proper one. However, I suspect that the label semi-retired would be more accurate.
As you can see, at least one younger person was invited to join us, and we have all benefitted. I suspect that we may decide to organize some other activities. I thought I heard one person mention a Christmas get together at his house. I do believe we will have breakfast at least once prior to that time. I am pleased to be associated with a group who exemplifies the phrase...Serve well.
