The trick in retirement is finding a nice balance between the "reading/movie/computer chair" and being up and about discovering and exploring. I say this while just a few months into retirement. There is something to be said for not "having" to get up at 6:00 am when you haven't slept well the night before.slimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02061336303839160271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806671613875975371.post-57315752508294678542011-12-30T09:14:32.928-05:002011-12-30T09:14:32.928-05:00I'm a little late with my comment but I sure l...I'm a little late with my comment but I sure like that brick building with its architectural details and history, Birdman!<br />Happy New Year to you and yoursLeif Hagenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17268045909244159357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806671613875975371.post-70499366892580090052011-12-29T06:34:43.467-05:002011-12-29T06:34:43.467-05:00i'm sorry. i missed the memo about the couch b...i'm sorry. i missed the memo about the couch being passe. i'm looking forward to spending many hours on mine.brattcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10382428477056833533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806671613875975371.post-79525433601608814312011-12-28T23:15:35.214-05:002011-12-28T23:15:35.214-05:00That is an awesome looking building.

He has been very active in volunteer work and travel for a long time. I don't think people can just sit on their butt all the time. I figure I'll be working another 12 years if somebody will have me.<br /><br />The younger generations won't be able to support us like we supported the older generations. The ratios of them to us just are not feasible. So we'll have to look out for ourselves. That isn't Republican or Democratic politics that is just the way it is.Yogi♪♪♪https://www.blogger.com/profile/00411274031147372579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806671613875975371.post-12494555849824421862011-12-28T19:55:29.026-05:002011-12-28T19:55:29.026-05:00You got that right.

Of course, that was the norm throughout human history until quite recently. Retirement is a very modern idea.

Heck, we've been busier in retirement than we were when we were working...but, and here's the nice part - now we're busier doing things we really want to do rather than things we have to do. Usually. Not always. Sometimes. Maybe. <br /><br />I'm going to stop now or I'll talk myself into going back to work! <br /><br />Nah.
