Retirement

Well since I last posted on my Blog a few things in my life has changed.  I have moved from the working class into retirement.  This is great for my overall well being, but I do miss the having to get up in the morning and have a purpose.  You know,,,somewhere to go.  It is quite odd because I really thought that I would miss the actual pay cheque,,,,but it is more than that.  I miss feeling like I have something to contribute.  Something that is meaningful.  Friends who have retired before me, have said that it will take time to be able to overcome this and relax into retirement.  But I have worked since I was 16 years old and almost am unsure of what to do with myself.  I do have some interests, no hobbies as such really,,,,,, practicing yoga and "practicing" my photography.  Unfortunately I love to practice my Yoga in a group setting, so the classes can get rather pricey.  But I find that it helps me to relax so will pay the buck and continue on with it. Meditation, that I love as well. So relaxing!  Oh yes I also LOVE going to Starbucks,,,,but that is very expensive.  Ray told me that I spend more than $100 a month on coffee drinks, so am going to have to curb that pleasure a bit!  I think I will go and have a coffee and contemplate what I shall do with myself......ttfn
