Free to Be, Free to Do

 

Lately, I've been feeling a sense of freedom that I haven't felt in, well, forever. I feel the most free I've ever felt in my whole life and it's nothing short of amazing.

I'm physically free.

Every day, I wake up and go to sleep in a home that is mine and mine alone. It looks the way I want it to look and I can do whatever I want within its walls. 

I can do whatever I want to do whenever I want to do it. I go out and do whatever I feel like doing and there's no one I have to tell or ask permission from.

I wear what I want, eat what I want, watch what I want, and listen to the music I want.

I'm mentally free.

My kids are grown and doing great, relieving me from the day-to-day tasks of mothering.

I feel fulfilled in my work and my life. 

I'm older so the worries and stresses of my younger years are a thing of the past.

I'm financially free.

I have no debt, I have money saved up for emergencies, a growing retirement nest egg, and an excellent grasp on my finances, overall. 

I can't spend money with abandon, but I don't live paycheck to paycheck and I don't have any money woes.

As I head into the last half of my life, my future is mine. I am truly free, my friends, and it feels incredible.
