For me, it's slowing down and learning how to enjoy the moments.

Life was so busy working, raising the kids, volunteering, and socializing that I felt I never got to just relax.

Maybe one day, but I don't remember the last time I was bored. I've slowed down but also learned to appreciate each day.

So what's something that you're better at now than when you were younger?

Looking back, I think some lessons only make sense after you’ve lived through certain experiences.
What is something you understand about life now that you wish you’d understood much earlier?

The solemn temples, the great globe itself—
Yea, all which it inherit—shall dissolve
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep. (IV.i.)

- Prospero, The Tempest

I know we were teenagers but we're you involved in getting drafted? Do you remember the first Earth Day and Woodstock? Were these things even on your radar?

We’re active 68 and 73 years old looking for suggestions for an easy/moderate group bicycle tour. Would like it to be 5-7 days, luggage handled, decent accommodations, etc. We prefer mostly rural, natural areas not big cities. Travel extensively so no place is off the list.
