Can you believe that? Lots to do always. I wish you the best on finding new and exciting things to do and see.

Blogs were so different back then but as they have grown, so have I, and I've learned so much and made some wonderful friends along the way. Now my husband is approaching retirement and I know we will with have an adjustment period, but we are also looking forward to new adventures together. Retirement is a time to play again and have fun! Stay healthy, active, young and enjoy!Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930223252966474185.post-53683989284583116892014-07-23T13:15:25.170-04:002014-07-23T13:15:25.170-04:00Personally, I think you are doing just fine in you...Personally, I think you are doing just fine in your retirement!

Planning is necessary if you want to retire well, but you always have to be open to changes as there will always be life interruptions along the way. It seems though that you have moved into this phase of life very well and there will be plenty of new, wonderful adventures awaiting you.Starting Over, Accepting Changes - Maybehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06032033918798053005noreply@blogger.com
