I am retirement age but I still work. I'm a paralegal by profession but since I moved closer to family, I now manage the family buildings - 3 of them - a total of 78 apartments and commercial businesses. I actually love to work as long as it doesn't get too overwhelming, which sometimes it does.
Anyway, I get up around 8:00am, make coffee and toast for breakfast, shower, make bed, make a lunch and head out usually by 10:00 or so. (The good news about working for family is that I set my own hours). I try to leave the office by 5:00 and head home, about a 10 minute or less commute.
I look at my snail mail, change clothes and start dinner I look out onto a golf course and lots of trees from my kitchen and dining room windows. It is beautiful at this time of year, although hot. I posted before that I suspended my satellite service for t.v. so everything has changed for me. I take my time to make a nice dinner with lots of fresh vegetables and fruit, maybe a little meat or pasta. I no longer eat a lot of sweets after dinner and I stopped drinking milk (which I love) and I have lost weight because of it. I also sleep better.
After dinner and cleaning up the dishes, I settle down with laptop to check on these forums, Facebook (to see what my adult children are posting) and then I might knit and listen to Pandora radio on my I-phone. I have a nice chair in my bedroom so it is very relaxing. The last thing I do is read on my Nook before lights out somewhere around 11:30pm.
I also spend time with my grandchildren who live nearby (7 and 4); or I visit my dad who is in assisted living.
I pretty much love my life now because I don't have any real pressures. I'm 68 and in good health. I have enough money to take care of myself. Life is good!
