Well it has been a while since I have logged onto this page. Blogging , apparently, is not for the feint of heart. While away, I have discovered that perhaps I was taking this too seriously. Looking to ensure I have good format, proper words, phrases that will get a hit with a search engine. All that technical stuff that…
It’s a Retired Life New Year
I have discovered that I have been a bit neglectful of this blog. I had the idea to start a blog when I retired. To share my thoughts, experiences and ideas. Well, the first 3 months have proven to me that I need to have a bit more of a schedule. ‘ I think it might be a normal thing…
A day in It’s a Retired Life.
It’s been 2 months since I retired and I love it. Talk about life changer? It really is just that. There were lots of questions about what I would do. Could I fill the time? Would I get bored? And I read a lot about what to do in retirement. I was ready to jump in. My first few posts…
It’s amazing what you can do

The result is that the body just seems to relax, and the day…

How do I spend my first week?
It seems to me that there are so many different approaches to retirement, that it is almost confusing. This is my journey so I have been thinking long and hard. At first, a slow, un-busy retirement was attractive. Then, I wondered what if I am bored? Maybe a few projects would be a good idea. Keeping busy shouldn’t be too…
IT”S A BEGINNING
I am just a few months away from the big day. The last day of official paid employment and the beginning of retirement. Everyone has been asking what will you do now? Hmmmm? Interesting question. It brings a lot of BIG questions to mind. LIFE type questions for example. But that’s not where I want to go, so maybe let’s…
