平凡是福

How do I spend my time now that I am in semi-retirement?  Well, I lead a very simple life.  I go to the gym on alternate mornings and work up a good sweat, do brisk walking on the other mornings often coming in close encounter with monkeys and lizards in the neighbourhood, play with the neighbour's children, tend to my garden, cook and clean house, spend time with my family (whenever they have time for me), occasionally enjoy the company of good friends and spend several hours (sometimes more, sometimes less) on the computer each day to earn my keep.  There is a Chinese saying,  平凡是福, meaning, "being ordinary is a blessing".
