It’s been a great summer. I haven’t worked since May and I do not miss it! I’m enjoying the changes of the season, I never used to appreciate it. Fall was always a bummer, it marked the end of summer. Having to wait for the morning bus in the dark. Coming home in the dark. Constant rain. Always dark and cold. But this year (so far) I have been enjoying the leaves turning colors and the bright fall sunshine. This is a new perspective for me. I’m just learning the “retired” life. I’ve worked since I was 16 and I’ve never had the time and/or luxury of just “being” and not having to worry about getting up, going to work, keeping a job, making money. It sure is different but I’m liking it!
