I sit by the window
Sipping my chai
The squirrels chatter on the tree outside
The lazy clouds drift across the summer sky.
A slight breeze brushes across my face
Like a caress.
Doris Day plays in the background,
And my dog curled on my feet.
No one else around.
To one to cook for,
No one to clean after,
No one to look after.
Just me and my hard earned serenity.

Serenity in life as you rightly mentioned is not easy to come by. One needs to toil hard every day for a really long duration to seduce it and make it our own
I can so identlfy with this. I have an empty nest serenity happening in my life too!
Enjoy the peace! Enjoy the time to do what you want to do!
