So I am enjoying this a lot!

A year after retiring, I thought about returning. I could have returned at the same salary. I woke up the next day and saw the snow on the ground and decided I didn't want to go anywhere! That did my thinking about going back to work.

And I agree with you on that one!
 
What I like about being retired is getting up early and not have to rush to shower, dress and to work. If I want to roll over and go back to sleep, I do!

Well this was my first week being retired. I slept in... and took my time doing stuff... I sat around in my t-shirt and boxers... I just didn't get in a rush about anything.

I'm similarly dressed. I don't answer the door unless I'm expecting a package. My neighbor will bring my packages up if she sees a notice on my mailbox. Some days I shower and put on a clean nightgown. I have 4 comfy housedresses and I'll put one on to empty my trash.

Yep it is all about being comfy..... we should hang out together! ;)
 
I'm sure you can think of something to liven the place up.


They tell me that people as old as us should be calm and restrained. Of course, you, understand , that ain't gonna happen. I'm thinking of misbehaving. Care to join me ? :devil:

I may have retired but not from life....
 
One of the nicest things about retiring is that I am free to do whatever I want when I want to. I think I like this!

It's nice, but there's a danger. If you don't need to do something right away, there's a tendency to put things off. It can reach a point where you don't get anything done. Make yourself do something every day. It can get depressing if you don't.

I had a few friends who returned to work because they were bored. I've always been a crafter, so having nothing to do isn't a problem. I make greeting cards and send them to my friends. I also exchanged cards with people around the world.
 
So any of your retired people out there? What did you do before you retired and what are you doing NOW that you have retired?

I was a teacher. My last assignment was 8th grade Communication Arts in a magnet school. The school opened in 1995 and I was on the first faculty. Now I enjoy music, reading and making greeting cards.

My students continue to ask for my advice with their own children. Several of them are now teachers, so I didn't set a bad example.

Wow hon... that is awesome... I love Teachers... I had a few that made a huge impact on my life. And you make greeting cards??? Wow that is cool. Do you have a website to see some of your work?
 
Hi,
is there an application process? I'm afraid I well qualify in the age bracket, but filling out forms, pffft.
 
Over the years I wish I had a nickel for every piece of paper I've had to fill out. They'd fill a dump truck.

Oh, as an introduction, I am the old widow. Been in NC a year. Love it here.
