Alternative universe

~ henryhenrycollins

These days there’s lots of speculation about other universes and how one might journey out of this one, into another,  through a wormhole or portal.
In a way, retirement is a portal, or it can be. And as in science fiction, to make remarkable journeys, you need imagination. The known universe for most of our lives has been work, family, mortgage and the routine chores of cleaning, shopping, gardening and house maintenance. It has been difficult to think of an alternative existence. And yet, if retirement is regarded as moving on to a new life, anything is possible.  All it takes is imagination and the courage to leave the old ways behind.
Off you go! A new universe awaits you.
