Living My Senior Years with Intention

In the last few years, I have spent a fair amount of time, especially since I retired, getting rid of stuff and have reached a point where I now think of myself as a Senior Minimalist in progress. As I live with less material stuff and work at only bringing things in that will improve my life, I am starting to understand that reducing the "stuff" in my life is leading me to live more intentionally.

Here are my thoughts and experiences as I go through this phase of my life.
