Yes, somethings that were on my retirement list are still on the list. I was gun-ho at first and then settled in. One of the comments put it perfectly, I didn't do them before because I didn't want to, and I still don't.<br /><br />On the other hand, there are things that I do that I never thought of and love. All in all, i'd rather be retired than work.<br /><br />Be well.BJ PUPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01675694191317911766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930223252966474185.post-4690068911139285102013-08-06T22:55:43.081-04:002013-08-06T22:55:43.081-04:00Gosh, what a thoughtful, interesting share!

I have made much progress in many areas but not as much as I had desired.<br />I know my tiredness comes from the thyroid problem but when I think about it, I do have a good amount of energy for someone "my age"! Staying active does help with the energy level - - - but just doing nothing is more than wonderful, too! Sometimes we need to do that just to completely recharge - - and Praise the Lord - - we retirees have that option (except for the five days I babysit!)...Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12404589772713955710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930223252966474185.post-6271964298722750222013-08-06T16:26:26.002-04:002013-08-06T16:26:26.002-04:00I have been retired for ten years and have LOVED e...I have been retired for ten years and have LOVED every minute of it!

The truth is that they did not get done because you did not want to do them then and you don't want to do them now. I have been retired two years and many of my best intentions are still my best intentions.

I started out retirement caring for a new grandson when his mom went back to work but that only lasted about 2 months then it was to home and relaxing more. I may get up earlier some days than others but that is my choice not someone else's. Take it easy and relax. No since tiring yourself out when you don't have to. It takes a lot of rest to recoup from many years of working.Hope your Tuesday is a terrific one.I'm mostly known as 'MA'https://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930223252966474185.post-67415926448054009602013-08-06T03:13:05.687-04:002013-08-06T03:13:05.687-04:00Carol!
