"On the road again . . . "
As many of you may know, I'm back in New York for awhile! I'm here to take care of Max, [that beautiful, lively dog that rules the household] while the others are gone. This is one of the 'perks' of being 'the Alpha Mom' and being semi-retired!
As usual, I have enough plans for my time in NY to keep me busy until Christmas . . .
I don't like the word 'retirement'. It sounds as though a person has come to the end of their 'work' life and that person is now lounging around, waiting to watch the sunset every evening. [It makes a person sound really old!] This doesn't describe the lives of too many people I know, and I certainly hope it doesn't describe me!
Perhaps it's more a state of mind. I'm viewing the completion of my former work placement as a 'graduation'. And like any self-respecting graduate, it's time to get out there and get busy!
I'll keep you posted!

How much better can it get? You're fit enough to travel, healthy enough to do whatever you'd like to do and curious enough to try new things.
Having all this time to travel and do things you really want to do is wonderful.
Plus, nobody will look at you when you sit in a cafe in the middle of the day thinking that you should really be at work.
I would call myself "retired" anytime if it would get me that lifestyle! ;-)
