Translated…
Since the beginning, I’d worked as an entry level worker, I’d worked hard, to make my own ends meet; with love, I’d needed the money, to set up a home for us, to work together, every day, for the basics of living needs, we’d spun around like tops.
Whenever we’d encountered a temple, we’d gone in, to offer incense to get blessed, and we’d always stated, “Please bless my whole family.”, without nothing much. Waited until we can afford birthday cakes, my children wanted me make three wishes, I’d drained my thoughts out, stated those words three times, thought of how hard it was, to start a family, that being satisfied with what I have already, I have no more desires.
And now, my children are all grown, I have time to myself, I’d started, catching up on reading the books I’m interested in, spent money on the classes, and, I’d maxed out the limits for paid-for outside-of-work seminars, and tuned in, to the education networks, and I’d found time to spend abroad for short periods of time, and conversed in English fluently with foreigners. None of these I’d done, for the sake of earning a degree, but, I’m still enriched, I’d wanted to, live outside of the box, and, open up this brand new, not-yet-explored boundary for myself.
So, this, is how you stay active and continued to socialize in your elderly years, after the retirement, you’d taken up classes, to further your knowledge base, traveled, to broaden your horizon, and you are, living a fulfilling retirement.
