Today is a special anniversary – one which helps me recover from the fact that the Birthday Month is well and truly over, (for another year.) Today, I have been retired for 10 years. That I have lasted as long is a great delight and somewhat of a surprise. The original Consultant Doctor who told me to “re-think” my life was obviously not expecting such a healthy recovery, and to be honest I cannot believe how quickly these last few years have whipped past. Providing I take life at a relatively gentle pace I am well enough to enjoy most activities. . . . . . . . . not hang-gliding of course, but walks in the countryside and pottering about are fine. I like to think of these elder-years as being golden years, and I realise how fortunate I am.
So I have come up with a good idea.
How about a 10yr-Retirement Anniversary Month?
That means more treats, more adventures and absolutely no guilt. Come on Misty, where shall we go?
But Mum. I’m not old enough to retire.
Love Misty.
I like the way you think!
What a lovely setup. Misty has the right idea. And you live in such a beautiful place. Dozens of my ancestors migrated from Scotland.
Love the treats and happiness for the little things! And congratulations on your 10th anniversary of retirement!!
