What happens when you retire

at least for me, that is.

It has been a year and i feel busier than ever,

but there is much more to it than that.

I always seem to have some thing to do?

Well not always, but when i need to stop, i can and do.

I do things that might not be absolutely necessary,

but now i have the time.

This especially relates to cleaning.

I do more "things" with others.

More people include me in their after work activities

and rely on me to do special things.

I walk more.

Any time that the weather permits that is.

Do i get lonely or board?

Sometimes i am alone, i am never bored.

I need some inspiration to do some things,

like repair cracks in the kitchen floor or paint a picture

and that seems what i wait for most of all.

Being alone does not mean i am lonely,

but i have been distracted by wanting to be around other people.

I actually get to spend time doing things i really like, such as cooking

and since i am of the "low and slow cooking is the best school",

i am in heaven.

My house smells wonderful most of the time.

Then i get to blog when it hits me,

not when i can make time.

Blogging is important, it lets me share my heart.
