Retirement Plan
John Kelly's animated ode to living our best life
Hey, friends, it’s been a roller coaster week. My Dad’s in the hospital again — the poor guy can’t seem to catch a break. I guess that’s what happens when you’re late in life, and your old bones are failing.
One day at a time, right?
I’m feeling drained, but I wanted to close the week with something beautiful, and I thought you’d appreciate John Kelly’s Retirement Plan, an animated short film that moved me to tears. I think you’ll like this — watch it today with someone you love.
I know it’s a little melancholy, but I found it inspiring—and motivating. We’ve got to make the most of our days! You can read more about Kelly’s film, which is nominated for an Academy Award, in The New Yorker, Cartoon Brew, and Short of the Week.
Have a great weekend, folks, and be well!
This is soooo good. Here's the link to the whole film. My 86-year-old husband is set to retire this March!
Oh, that was wonderful. All the best to you and your dad. It's not easy, this stage, but somehow we get through it - hopefully with grace and love.
