You will know when the time is right, maybe even this year. Thanks for the mention of eating healthier in your comment to me. Somedays I could live on dried fruit and nuts, so I am hoping to eat a more balanced diet in 2013 too.

The idea of retirement takes a lot of getting used to. I had more anxiety over the decision than actually announcing it. Yes, I get concerned about some stuff, too - - - but really felt God led me to do this - - - so that makes it right. I am staying focused on my goals that I want to accomplish - - but also realize I will need to make plans to stay connected to people since they will not be coming into the library to see me each day! However, we have total JOY about me keeping our grandson.Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12404589772713955710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930223252966474185.post-55501900766148862872013-01-01T18:31:56.443-05:002013-01-01T18:31:56.443-05:00A popular word indeed.

I too am very nervous about retirement for similar reasons. The loneliness, I enjoy being part of the team at work and I am going to miss that so much. Financially it is different as I have Ralph to support me and he doesn't retire for another five years yet.It will be the end of my financial independence, but not in the same league as you. Retirement used to be something to look forward to but now it is dreaded. <br /><br />Love your post and your comment on my blog.<br /><br />Big Love and Hugs<br /><br />SheilaghSheilaghhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02774960303127922257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930223252966474185.post-73032813577927715782013-01-01T16:05:22.110-05:002013-01-01T16:05:22.110-05:00Surely your list of 10 things won't be your (g...Surely your list of 10 things won't be your (gasp) Bucket List! I have a mental list of things that I want to get done but I keep bumping up against the idea that to do them is preparation for death and something in me rebels against it. I empathize with your concerns about retiring. You never know how much preparation is enough. I retired at 65 because I'd convinced myself I wouldn't live very long. But here I am, wishing I had worked a little longer and had more income. There are some things in life that are pure guess work! I love your tag line "Joy in 2013"!Ms Sparrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03417670251423549014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930223252966474185.post-86402180117156032362013-01-01T15:49:07.353-05:002013-01-01T15:49:07.353-05:00Buttercup, I know exactly how you feel when it com...Buttercup, I know exactly how you feel when it comes to retirement. I was ever so eager to retire. It turned out to be difficult. My parents became ill and passed away..that was hard to deal with. Then our compnay started messing with all that we thought would be a sure thing once we retired. Changing insurance...we pay more ourselves for way less. There is the one main thing you need to know everything about...your insurance.As we age we need it more. Never did I dream , I would need to be a legal, medical genius. I will wish you luck with all your choices. xoxo,SusieSusiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06425051654313691986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930223252966474185.post-90729644420780724812013-01-01T15:43:46.610-05:002013-01-01T15:43:46.610-05:00And I too wish you JOY in the New Year.
