One of these days I'll be able to retire. Wish I could now, but it will happen in God's timing. Thank you for sharing and glad you're enjoying retirement.
Awe, you are the sweetest! We love connecting with out clients/friends, hearing about their families and experiences 💜. Retirement. I’m not seeing it yet… it’s a dim fog ahead of me. I love what I do because of the ‘people’ connection. It’s only been 42 years, I think I have another 10 years in me! 😬🤞🏼I can’t imagine working at a desk with very little contact with people. By the way… My amaryllis bloomed beautifully this summer on my patio. It’s currently in my basement in hibernation. Thanks for the reminder, in about the second week of November I’ll get her out and start talking with her🌺😘. Thanks Jan
When I was working, I wished I had more time for self care, volunteering & traveling
Now, I walk daily, & work out with a personal trainer 2x/wk. Even trying to integrate meditation. I volunteer as a Bereavement Minister at my Church & sit on a couple of committees at our VA Hospital.
AND I'm on the trip of a lifetime - 3 months traveling Italy!
How I wish I had more time with my children when they were growing up.I have 5 children I was alone to raise them.I needed 2 jobs to make both ends meet.Sometimes I went home 11 o’clock at night my kids were asleep then the following morning I had to go to work early my kids were still in bed.My mom helped me raise my children with a maid to do the household chores. I miss my children when they were growing up.
Well let me see. I love meditation just not enough time and walking, and now writing. Coming home after work making dinner then cleaning up. It doesn’t leave much time to do anything. But I’ll try my best to make time. I wish o could retire but have a couple more years.
Sometimes I feel I don't have time for anything, because I finish work very tired. I am a sociable person, I always organize meetings of my groups of friends, but honestly I need more time to rest. I would like to be retired like you.🤣
Jan, another fun writing. I’ve been retired for 13 years now, keep myself busy with quilting, card making, baking and my newest adventure is writing short verses. My problem is now I’m often running behind as I think I’ve got time to do one more thing before have to get someplace..working on that.
I retired twice. . . but it wasn't for me. Fortunately, I discovered a love for writing and am making that my new job. I work from home in my pajamas, any time of the day. There is no commute and no deadlines other than the ones I want to honor. It's perfect!.
Jan, loved reading part two. You do a great job and make it so fun to read. I want more time with my granddaughters. However, not much I can do about the season I am currently in. You see, I have two aging parents who demand a lot of my time. But any who, I’m looking forward to more writings from you.
I have been retired 4 years now. I am going to the gym 2 times a week, doing volunteer work for the church keeps me fairly busy. I don't miss my worklife at all.
Love that you are enjoying retirement . Lots of people don't get to retire. I am 78 enjoying retirement. Sleep overs with my granddaughter. Going to volleyball games to watch her play . My other grands check in one grandson comes by with pizza , other younger ones stay with me just to play. Life is good. Meeting you new friends on internet. I just take one day at a time that is what I do. Enjoy your reading your post. Thanks for sharing. Blessings.
Love reading your stories Jan. I love being retired spending quality time with friends and family under no pressure, just love it.Hopefully next year I intend too travel more and have more adventure’s 🥵🥵

I've always been an infamous "to do list" girl. Now that I'm retired, I still make the lists, but most things on them are optional. 😂

Oh my goodness! How I can relate to this. The one thing I'm trying right now is to be sure that I have time for prayer and devotional every morning! 🙏
I love your Amaryllis contest entries. Hang in there!
