Six Month Check In

Well, it has been six months since I ‘retired’. Still trying to figure out the next phase of my life.

A few major changes so far:

Joined the local YMCA with my sister and am working out about 1/2 hour four times a week. It is harder than I thought. I let myself get out of shape in the last few years.

Went to a local nursery’s orchid class and am starting to get back into house plants. Went to Longwood Gardens and got blown away. Forgot how much I used to like greenery inside the house.

Spending an average of two or three days a week with my grandchildren when they come home from school. Son and DIL working long hours so I am helping out.

Worked in the garden all summer and now ready to have a head start on next year… first time ever.

Life is good.

Life certainly sounds good – great to read! Do you miss work at all or is that a really silly question?!

It must be very relaxing and fulfilling if you haven’t written for 6 months! No seriously, I’m looking forward to my retirement as well (in about 4 years). It sounds as though your activities are well-balanced. Keep onward and forward with them! 🙂
