Hi Spenser and friends - Subscribing with a post.
I'm 58 year old in reasonably good health. I could lose 15 lbs and exercise more, but I see my doctor annually and the tests all come out OK.
Although I have friends who are beginning to retire and talk about it, I'm not even close. After a divorce and putting 5 kids through undergrad, I have some financial ground to make up. It's OK, I enjoy my work as a manufacturers' rep and it's physically and mentally easy on me. Developing and maintaining relationships comes fairly naturally. I can see doing it until I'm 70 or older.
And . . . a little levity:
Finding one of her students making faces at others on the playground, Ms. Smith stopped to gently reprove the child. Smiling sweetly, the Sunday school teacher said, "Johnny, when I was a child, I was told if that I made ugly faces, it would freeze and I would stay like that." Johnny looked up and replied, "Well, Ms Smith, you can't say you weren't warned."
