This is a great video to remind ourselves that we don't always know what's going on in another person's life:

It was a great video, but I'm sorry. I am so tired of hearing people say that because we're retired we have no place to go. I have plenty of places to go. I belong to several clubs and like to get to them on time. I have doctors appointments. My wife works and sometimes I drop her off and pick her up. I also do volunteer work and it is important that I get there on time. A lot of people have golf tee times, tennis times and times for bocce tournaments and who knows what else.
Yes, I agree we should give ourselves plenty of time to get to our destinations but sometimes things happen that are beyond our control and we get running late.
Like I said, we might be retired, but we're not dead. Many of us find that we are
busier in our retired life than we were when we were working.
Like I said in a previous post, I am trying very hard to become more patient and see things from other people's view. But please don't say "What the hurry? You're retired. You have no place to go."
That's one of my pet peeves.
