There be Dragons!

 

There be dragons!

Old map-makers used to mark the edges of ‘known territory’ with those words – “Beyond here – there be dragons”. 

Having lived most of my life following a map of sorts, I find myself now veering off into unknown lands of retirement.  I am moving slowly and with purpose because like most folks, I fear the unknown—the dragons that lurk in the uncharted places.

I am still wondering what I want to be when I grow up.  Up till now I always had a plan, even if it didn’t make sense to others, I knew what I needed to do and had a plan on how to get it done.  Now that I have “arrived” at retirement I am looking off into the horizon knowing I need to continue my journey but unsure which way to go.  No matter which way, I fear that there be dragons.   So I have to figure out how to be a dragon slayer instead of dragon chow.  For now, I am building my strength and my arsenal and studying the map.  Stay tuned for more dragon adventures.
